Hi all.

The other day I accidentally spilled a very tiny amount (a drop, really) of Coke on the shift key of my 12" powerbook. I thought I had gotten it off before it seeped down into the keyboard, but alas, I must not have.

Now my shift key is just a little bit sticky. Not terribly sticky. Just a little bit. It makes a little "tick" sound when I use it now.

Can I just pop the key off, clean the underside and the key itself, and then pop it back on like with the iBook keys?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers
Scott
