My curiosity compelled me to want to know how squeaky it actually is,

And whether throwing a cat at it would scare it into not squeaking (joke)

Ok jokes aside,
I may have some unorthodox methods which involve opening the thing up, and putting some oil in the general vicinity, and massaging da keys till it stops squeaking.


What I'm not sure is : that'll probably bork the warranty. Probably.

Not sure if this is a good idea after all.

So I did the unspeakable, the unholy, the ludicrous and have pried off the key cap. *shiver* and soaked the scissor in isopropyl. It worked. I was afraid it was because the cap was rubberised and it was grinding the frame.

And, yes.. it was quite loud.. like, door squeaking loud almost.. it was VERY bad.. I should've recorded it.

I can only imagine taking that unit to a library or something and deliberately squeaking the key and everyone flipping out thinking its a mouse or something 😄

That's a new one on me, but I'm glad you were brave enough to sort it out. There are online stores where you can buy replacement keys for specific laptop models (and I have done this successfully before with broken keys, specifically Dell), but never ran into a squeaky key before. Hey, at least you can say you had a spare mouse for your laptop !

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! ;U!

I assume the joint in the scissor was simply too tight so when it sunk on an angle it would squeak. It would only do so if I was pressing the bottom right corner of the key..

But hey I never hit the very center of keys. ;d
