peppermintessei just pulled a cat's worth of fur out of my laptop keyboard. :P
The delete key, shift key, and forward slash/question mark key were all acting up. All on the right side. All where little Nefret had partially tried to curl up and go to sleep on on. So I turned off the computer, pulled the keyboard off, detached it from the motherboard and proceeded to run a pin between the keys.
YUCK. If I'd had canned air I'd've used it.
I had been leaving the laptop lid up because the video cables running through the hinges were loosening and causing weird visual effects if I opened and closed it frequently. I may have to rethink this strategy.
Aside: does anyone know if those self-same cables might cause a side of the laptop screen to tinge pink upon waking from screensaver? It quickly fades but it's concerning me that it might not fade in the future.
