Hello!

As a rule, netbook keyboards cannot be disassembled for cleaning. I would recommend having a replacement on hand before you try.

I tried cleaning one somebody spilled Coke into once. No go. Had to replace the keyboard.

If quality is an issue, you may want to consider a small USB keyboard you can plug into the netbook if you lose too many more keys...

You could try opening up the keyboard (first unplug it) and use air gun to clean the electronic part and soap+water to clean the plastic cover.  Maybe you have interfering gunk causing your backspace key to not work.

Hi.

My backspace key on my keyboard is dead. Totally. I had problem with it before but after many quick fixes that I did to this key, now its dead.

RIP beloved backspace key



Before that, when it was still working I used xmodmap for binding other keys to different places.
But now, because its dead, I cant bind it to "delete" key(its near backspace and I dont use it anyway), because when you bind it, you need to press both keys to get their ID's...

So I'm screwed a bit... If you dont believe me, try not to use "backspace" for one day :]


Its damn hard to find keyboard for my netbook model, and those that I found have price made by some stoned junkies that have no idea what they selling, so I need to find way to bind backspace to different key on my keyboard.

Any idea how can I make it?
Maybe there is app/command that have universal ID's for every keys?
