There is nothing under this key cos i have checked it several times its just as good as the rest. Nothing has been spilled on it either. <BR /><BR />what i noticed however is that whenever this key is acting stuck, my mouse pad ceases to 'tap to click'. i dunno if these two things are related. <BR /><BR />i have recovered my pc twice now cos of this problem and i dunno what else to do. I have installed most of the updates on the sony support website. <BR /><BR />i have put the question to the e-support team and replies from them are really slow plus the site has been down for like 398years now..lol.<BR /><BR />Neways any form of advice would be much appreciated.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 08 Mar 2005 18:47:11 GMT https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/my-forward-slash-key-is-stuck-on-startup/m-p/46608#M115027 patronus 2005-03-08T18:47:11Z Re: my forward slash key is stuck on startup https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/my-forward-slash-key-is-stuck-on-startup/m-p/46609#M115028 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>In order to rule out a hardware problem, start you computer in DOS mode and see whether the '/' key works. If it does we can then start to look for Windows issues.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 08 Mar 2005 20:18:06 GMT https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/my-forward-slash-key-is-stuck-on-startup/m-p/46609#M115028 rich912 2005-03-08T20:18:06Z Re: my forward slash key is stuck on startup https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/my-forward-slash-key-is-stuck-on-startup/m-p/46610#M115029 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Some compressed air on the key might do the trick, it only needs to be a speck of dust<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 08 Mar 2005 20:24:43 GMT https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/my-forward-slash-key-is-stuck-on-startup/m-p/46610#M115029 kee-lo_ 2005-03-08T20:24:43Z Re: my forward slash key is stuck on startup https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/my-forward-slash-key-is-stuck-on-startup/m-p/46611#M115030 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>the same problem occurs in Dos mode so i guess its a hardware issue.
