    My 1564 is giving me trouble, sometimes when I press the down arrow key it stays in it's pressed state, not physically but the laptop seems to think it's still down. The time the laptop "thinks" this always varies (from a second to a few minutes). The key doesn't always "stick" either.

    I took the key itself off the laptop to check if nothing was stuck underneath it causing trouble, but this was not the case. I placed the key back but the problem persists.

    I was trying to get the keyboard off but googling for guides gave no decent results. Anyone has experience with this model of laptop? or a good guide with pictures? Perhaps if I give the keyboard a good clean it'll function again.

    Another thing I can rule out is a software/windows bug/error. This behavior also occurs in the BIOS.

    I hope one of you gurus can help me. :bang:
