Hi Friends,
Yesterday I cleaned my keyboard by removing all its keys..I washed those keys and kept them for drying whole night..Today morning I again put it right back..but the problem is WINDOWS KEY and the EDIT key are pressed in. Rest all were fine and Key 1 on NumberPad is not working..Can anybody help solving the prob???

Take the 3 keys off, take a screwdriver, slowly prod the soft plastic thingy below the keys, till they are straightened up. Put the keys back. Enjoy.
