Sticky keys?

Hey guys,

I have a PowerBook G4. The apple key on the right hand side sticks. It presses down fine and almost returns to normal, but it doesn't go all the way back up on release and about two seconds after makes this popping noise. It's more of a nuisance. But I was wondering if anyone has had this happen before and if there is a way to stop it. Thanks.



Brian

    Pry it away, and see if you can clean the inner side. (Note: You can't do this with all PB's AFAIK)

    What is the best way to try prying it away without breaking it?

    Being carefully?



    Nah , I would try it with the tip of a knife or a screwdriver. And be gentle. But I'm not sure if your PowerBook is even able to do it. What model do you have?
