How can I fix stuck computer keys?

My ‘L’ and ‘.’ are kinda stuck along with some others so you gotta press them a couple times to get them to work. But I dont want them to get any worse especially since this laptop belongs to my school and not me, so yeah. Any ideas? I think there may be some crumbs under the keys too ;d Any ideas?

Answer #1

. Strip is down and clean the sticky keys. WD40 on a soft lint free fabric, or tissue is pretty good methylated spirits works well too. .

Answer #2

I have the same problem with my ‘L’ read - http://funadvice.com/r/15s395f5pvv

But honestly I’m afraid to do it myself in fear of breaking the key and having to buy a whole new keyboard. I realize your question was asked 5 months ago, but it can still be a useful tip if it something like this ever happens again. :)
