IBM Thinkpad key problems

[Janie]

Hi all,

A whole bunch of keys on my stinkpad has suddenly stopped working. I pulled them off and cleaned it all thoroughly, it was pretty dirty and dusty, but that didn't help. Any ideas, please?

did you spill something on them?

how old is the laptop?

Hi Abhi,

No, nothing happened, i was just chatting and suddenly lost the use of a chunk of keys.

It's probably about 4 years old.

Interesting wordplay. "Stinkpad"
