[QUOTE="tryn, post: 718801, member: 66086"] first - My right shift key popped off. I still have it and would put it back on myself, but there is a little silicone knob that was glued to the middle of the keyboard that is gone. Is there any way to replace that little knob that goes under the key? second - I spilled Gatorade all over my laptop. I managed to attend to it right away. The liquid spilled onto the back of the of the computer so luckily it didn't get into the keyboard. But I didn't think to take the battery out and clean under there. I've not had any problems with the operation of the computer, but today a cd got stuck in my optical drive. I managed to get it out eventually, but I am positive the problem is that it is STICKY in there. Is there a good way to clean the optical drive without opening the computer? I don't think I have the necessary tools to do that. Plus, I'm a pretty new Mac user - and while I've crawled all around the insides of PCs, I have never even seen the inside of a mac. Any advice or tips would be welcome. [/QUOTE]
