Default How to release stuck keys.

I was a bit worried about the lettering as well. The dishwasher on Glass
cycle should preserve the text.

I would have suggested the washing machine but the dishwasher *would* be
better. The spin cycle wreaks havoc on the keys.

You look, and feel if necessary, around the edges of the keyboard until
you locate an electrical cord. You follow it away from the keyboard
along the cord's length. The far end should be plugged into a socket on
the computer case. If it is not, then locate the female plug and insert
it into that socket. Be aware that you might have to rotate the plug
until the pins line up with the holes. Using moderate pressure, assure
that it is seated into the connector. You might have to restart the
computer.

If the keyboard plug is attached, try gently removing the plug, examine
it and the socket for damage, and reinsert it. Again, you might have to
restart the computer.

If, by chance, you refer to a keyboard whose keys are literally stuck
because of something spilled on it or some other misadventure, it is
best to purchase a replacement keyboard. To test, try plugging the
keyboard into a similar computer.

If it was working earlier and has become unresponsive, try turning it
off and then restarting it.
