I can't find it on the acer website. Can you give me a link? I can't find an obvious way to do it from the device. The only guide I see on the website is not for my model (tm 4400).

I spilled a little juice on one of the keys, and it's now sticky (it's the left arrow key). I tried to gently pry it off with a butter knife, but it won't come off. I didn't want to force it off and break it. Are the keys on this...

Yeah, if someone could put together a list of recommended driver updates, that would be wonderful. I could really stand to improve the stability of my system.
