Sticky Key on laptop
Oookay.

My laptop is being a pooface. The 'w' key is sticking. How can I fix it? The key is currently on an angle leaning towards the 'q' key. Typing is irritating because I usually have to press the 'w' really hard a few times before I can get the letter to come up on the screen.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Sounds like it just came loose. Have you tried pushing it down hard and flat to make it snap back in?

Thanks for calling MacInsiders tech support. My name is Billy and I will be your technician for the duration of this thread post. Are you sure that the computer is plugged in and the battery has been properly inserted?
