thegoat54 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Ok, I just got a powerbook g4, so I've got it up and running now. I'm using it, I've now figure out how to Control-Click. But now I cant figure out how to stop menus from coming up now. I keep clicking without holding control, still more menus. I hold down control again, still more menus. I just want my regular click back without rebooting. HELP!

McSkywalker Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Your control key seems to be broken. Edit: Someone must have spilled some liquid on it. Get it cleaned in an Apple service or somewhere capable of doing that.

thegoat54 Posted December 9, 2006 Author Share Posted December 9, 2006 Does anyone know how to clean it myself? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35211-i-know-im-an-idiot-please-help-a-new-powerbook-owner/#findComment-251472 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Marvin Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Does a reboot not fix it? I had a similar problem once with a F button (not sure what one), but it just seemed to stick in OS X. A reboot fixed it. If not, then it is probably, as said before, broken or damaged.

Rammjet Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Sometimes getting one of those cans of compressed air with a nozzle and spraying under the key while tapping it can dislodge foreign materials.
