How can I get the d key to work on my MacBook Pro?

Asked by LauraDA (27points) January 18th, 2011

The d key does not work on my Macbook Pro. I have to hit it a few times to get it to take. Any way I can do something myself or is this a take it in to a repair place type of issue?

Is this an older MacBook Pro where you can pop off the keys yourself, or a newer one?

If it’s older, you can take the key off and clean out underneath it. If newer, try blasting some compressed air in there.

I bought it in late 07. Tried the compressed air trick but no change, Thanks for answering.
