Laptop Key Issues
I have a Dell XPS M1730 and today, after cleaning my keyboard out, the escape key has stopped working. It doesn't feel stuck, it still lights up, but when I press it nothing happens. Could some of the liquid from the compressed air can broke it? Or could a piece of something gotten underneath it, or could it just be my computer itself? Thanks.

You could try blowing it out again or taking the key off and seeing if there is something stuck underneath it preventing it from working correctly.
