[ltp] [OT] Cleaning Mousebuttons

[Wolf Wiegand]

Hello,

in a moment of temporal insanity, I managed to spill a little bit of tea 
on my thinkpad. Not enough for any of it to leak below the keyboard, yet 
enough to kill a mouse button :-(.

Well, at first after the spillage (and drying attempts) the computer 
worked all right for a couple of minutes. After that my mouse started 
acting totally weird. So I removed the keyboard and try to blow out any 
liquid still in there. Then I put everything back together and let it 
sit for >24 hrs.

Now, everything works allright, except the upper left mouse (or rather 
touchpad) button. It seemes to be pressed permanently, so I can't even 
use the lower left mouse button.

Now my question: Is it possible to remove the mouse buttons or the 
keyboard buttons from the keyboard just by pulling them off (so I can 
see what's wrong)? I didn't want to try it in order not to break even 
more things around here.

Thanks for any answer,

Wolf
