This will clean dirt deposits off the contacts. Then just put the key cover back on and the key should work again. I've done this two or three times on an old keyboard from an 128K machine and had no problems. I haven't had to try it on an extendended keyboard yet (and hopefully I won't ever have to) so I don't know if it will work there. I originally saw this hint in an old MacUser I think (It was in the hint section of whatever magazine it was). If the problem wasn't dirty contacts I don't know what to do. Mark Irwin
