Static cling

For the past week or so the keyboard on my own silver 17" wide laptop has been dead, completely.

I got around to emailing Novatech support thinking I'd probably have to end up sending it back to get plugged in properly or that I'd not bother with that and open the thing up myself. But instead I got an email from them suggesting that I remove the battery and power cord and press the power button a few times to clear any static buildup.

And it worked.

In retrospect, like all these things, it seems eminently reasonable now. But I didn't think I'd have static cling in my keyboard.
