Hey all,
I have an Acer Aspire R7 laptop that has a convertible screen. It was one of the very first or second generation laptops that allowed you to flip the screen around or lay it flat and use it as a tablet, drawing tablet, landscape or portrait, etc..
I absolutely love this computer and have since the first day I got it. So much so that I came very very close to buying a second one and leaving it in the box for when this one gave up the ghost.
Well suddenly Im having these odd issues mostly with the S and the D key. I want to say they are not responding with some trash under the key or something but then sometimes in seems like they are just lagged. So as of late I have been using compressed air to try to blow any debris out from under the keys which has worked at times an other times not. Today I took to using a small flat tool to pop the S and the D key off and blow out beneath and thoroughly cleaned the back side of the key with denatured alcohol a reinstalled them and now very very rarely I am getting some issue with the G key but still having random issues with the S and D. The G key coming into play makes me think I blew some piece of something to another key but the randomness and the laggy feel has me wondering.
Is there some sort of solvet type pot cleaner I should try spraying? Should I try removing all the keys (oy vey) and blowing out the keyboard?
Any ideas are appreciated. I love this computer and dread the day it gives up the ghost. I rarely find a laptop I like as much as I like this computer. Be hard to replace.
Thanks
