My damn G stopped working

on my laptop at work. Now I have to copy and paste a damn g everytime I need one. With the way I butcher the enxlish language, I will just use an x in its place. I bet ole' GSpot76 himself has somethinx to do with this.

About once a month I will turn my keyboard unside down and give it a good shake and man oh man the stuff that falls out.

That happened to me with my "X." Wouldn't work for the longest time. I had to cut and paste. Then my "E" went out. Then my "A." Now half my keyboard doesn't work. Time for a new laptop.

Somewhat related. The G string is a common problem in electric guitars.

Are you sure you just "can't locate" the G key

THought, If you do hit the G Key, does your computer start whirring & lights flash?
