here's the situation:

THe comma button is being problematic. I used a program called keytweak to completely disable the comma key for now.

When the comma is NOT disabled and use hit the comma key I often get anywhere between 3 and 12 commas instead of one single comma. Additionally when I boot up my laptop I get the "beep beep beep beep beep beep" that is representative of a key being held in at start up.

So is there anything I can do about this? I hate not being able to use commas :(

pop the key and clean it, takes 5 minutes. i had a viewsonic keyboard that the front slash stuck on, this is all it took.

like everyone else is saying

take the key off the laptop with a flat-head screwdriver clean it with some Isopropyl alcohol using some Q-tips
