I recommend that the person known as Penelope (formerly known as "yo_"), simply find alternative spellings for most words that contain that letter. one half of one milliton shall replace "po_nd", etc. I may even consider changing the name of my blog to "Grown person who does not like to admit that she is grown."
Can't evil dust do that? Can you get a can of air and spray out the keyboard really well? I would suggest taking it to Circuit City, but the IT guys there, while very nice and seemingly extras from Napolean Dynamite, kept my laptop for almost a week and didn't get it fixed until I stood there for an hour. And it still has some problems but I just couldn't stomach leaving it any longer.
Heh. My net buddy had the same problem--but t'was his "t" not his "u" that gave him greif. As to fixing it, I'm with Ashley--Evil dust!
But if yer keyboard is one with the pop-off letters like mine, pop off the "U" and check for any stray bits of flotsom. That's what usually fcks up my laptop.
:D
That happened to me - it was just a crumb under the key. I blew on it for a while and it went away.
Shake keyboard upside down (a la Kurt's crumb idea). Blow on it. Burn sage. Try again.
When my laptop gets too hot, the touch mouse wanders with a will of its own. So, I feel you.
Also, "u" is essential. Here's hoping it comes back soon.
i remember once when my space bar was broken... and then that time when i bought a new keyboard and christened it with water- it didn't work so well after that.
uuuuuuu
Aha! Fixed. I think it was a dog hair (shock).
Thanks for the advice, y'all.
