I know I am not a techie person . My knowledge at my netbook is basic . But I know some of you are , so I am asking for some advices . You see , the backspace tab at my netbook’s keyboard when touched , would make what I typed run like crazy and I cannot type anymore . Sometimes , I would touch it long and try to seemingly up the backspace tab and it would behave . But in a while it’s that again . That happened yesterday and last Saturday so I wasn’t able to do mylotting much . Anybody please who knows what the problem of my netbook is ?

It sounds like there might be something under the key that's making it stick. Sometimes you can remove keys from keyboards to clean underneath them. Otherwise, you can use a can of compressed air to blow whatever it is out from under the key.

@SIMPYD I have the same opinion as Yuki. It is possible that there is something stuck under the key.

Possibly an issue with the battery, @amnabas, although it could be the charger, too. Have you tried a different charger with your phone?

There is definitely some problem maybe blow it out with that compressed air or so if something is under that key otherweise you will have to find someone to check out the problem. Good Luck with that.

I think by the time I could respond, you have got the solution to your problem. I understand that you need to clean your key board thorough with a (computer) brush. If there is some dirt etc under the keys it will go away and that may help you run your keyboard smoothly.

Yes, some said that really . So i think , that should be what should be done . I will bring it to my nephew who are good on computers , on Saturday , when i go to our hometown to visit my parents . Meanwhile , i can't Mylot anymore at night time , because it's what i use at home .

From what I am gathering from this is the the backspace key works intermittently . Like it is sticking or jamming. There could be dirt build up under the key itself. Look online for videos on how to remove the backspace key and clean it out and out it back on to see if it works.

I really would like to do that , but i am afraid i am not good in understanding the instructions. Last night , my netbook automatically repaired Word . The backspace is working again . IT may stick but can be remedied and work again .

@SIMPLYD I know how you feel. I feel the same way and would not want to break the key. But it could be worth a shot. Maybe you can get your husband to help out with this.
