You can buy compressed air to clean between the keys, just don't come too close or it can "blow them of"
Good luck

There should have been a manual that explains everything in plain-japanese. I would refer you to that document as, while I work for Cricket, I do not actually own a cellphone. If it works either way, I would advise you to leave it off.
Is there anything else that I may assist you with today? Ok, please take a few minutes to fill out our automated survey and have a good day!

Dear sir, I am not understanding what you mean by this "do-dad" terminology. Does this mean your father cannot use the phone?
There should have been a manual that explains everything in plain-japanese. I would refer you to that document as, while I work for Cricket, I do not actually own a cellphone. If it works either way, I would advise you to leave it off.
Is there anything else that I may assist you with today? Ok, please take a few minutes to fill out our automated survey and have a good day!

Necro, you still haven't said much about your system itself. What OS?! Windows XP or Vista? You said you cleaned it, ok, if you are sure then a "process" isn't letting go. Hard to advise how to shut down the culprit without knowing even what verson of Windows you run.
As for what type of CD/RW you have, you certainly can tell without taking apart a machine. Assuming Windows XP: RIGHT click on My computer / pull down to Properties / hit the Hardware tab / then Device Manager button. Click the plus sign next to the CD drives and it will give you all the info you need about your drive without taking it apart. Even if it is only a number (as it probably will be if your drive is old). Take that info down exactly as given (dashes and all if included) and google it with quotes. Voila.
