There is a lazier answer Dean.

Just substitute another character whenever you get to that
aw£ward letter £ey!! We'll all get used to it and see it as a
particular quir£ of messages from you... :lol:

Sorry, you £now I couldn't resist!

Lift out the strip that runs along the rear of the keyboard then the strip-down should be obvious. I can't remember whether the keyboard comes out next or has to be unscrewed from underneath first..

What model of Tosh is it Dean?
They vary a little. I may have a keyboard for your particular model lying around somewhere...

I always find that turning it upside down and banging the keyboard (hard) makes the most suprising amount of rubbish fall out of the gaps in the keyboard! :D
Make sure you've switched it off first though :lol:

Smartass :lol: :lol:

Tried air and banging to no avail, then i just went for it and pushed the k button hard and it is now functional, ish, so i can K whenever i need to now without cutting and pasting my K's out of someone elses post :D Its a Satellite L300D Ciaran and thank you very much for the offer but i can see the panel that Dman mentioned (thanks) and may have a go at lifting it and having a good clean.
If i reply to this thread later as a mute you will know it went badly!
