3 If it was a juice drink the keys are probably sticky. I had a similar problem when my children were young and had to remove 2 keys and wash the gunk off. That's a tricky part - you should consult a technician to assist with that type of repair.

Good luck.

4 If you are reasonably handy, laptop keyboard removal is fairly trivial on newer models. Look at the underside of your laptop, and see if any of the screws have a small icon in the shape of a keyboard. If so, those are the ones to remove.

The keyboard can then usually be removed by gently sliding it towards you (as the laptop is normally held) and then lifted out. There will be one cable that connects the keyboard to the system board. You can trying cleaning the sticky areas with some small q-tips and alcohol/distilled water mix (or electronics cleaner), or rinse the whole thing with distilled water, but if you start breaking off the keys you can replace the whole keyboard for $20-30 depending on the manufacturer.

Check the manufacturers website support links for detailed removal instruction.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
