There is a lazier answer Dean.
Just substitute another character whenever you get to that
aw£ward letter £ey!! We'll all get used to it and see it as a
particular quir£ of messages from you...
Sorry, you £now I couldn't resist!

Lift out the strip that runs along the rear of the keyboard then the strip-down should be obvious. I can't remember whether the keyboard comes out next or has to be unscrewed from underneath first..

What model of Tosh is it Dean?
They vary a little. I may have a keyboard for your particular model lying around somewhere...

I always find that turning it upside down and banging the keyboard (hard) makes the most suprising amount of rubbish fall out of the gaps in the keyboard!
Make sure you've switched it off first though

Good LucK
Smartass
Tried air and banging to no avail, then i just went for it and pushed the k button hard and it is now functional, ish, so i can K whenever i need to now without cutting and pasting my K's out of someone elses post

Its a Satellite L300D Ciaran and thank you very much for the offer but i can see the panel that Dman mentioned (thanks) and may have a go at lifting it and having a good clean.
If i reply to this thread later as a mute you will know it went badly!
