POST Keyboard error code

Have a keyboard fault on a laptop.

The Phoenix bios returns stuck key code 20 on the POST.

Had a look in Croucher's BIOS Companion book but cannot equate this code to a relevant key.

Any suggestions which key this code equates to. So that I can remove the keyboard and try to clean the necessary key

Thanks

My 1993 vintage book on how to upgrade PCs (from Que publishing) says it's the letter 'r' (lower case) on a 102 character keyboard, and letter 't' (lowrr case) on a 83 character keyboard.

Sorry forgot to mention it is a UK type keyboard so was wondering if the Que publication was referring to a US or UK keyboard

Thanks

It doesn't mention US/UK but I guess the code is the same for all - and the BIOS identifies the correct keyboard language variable?
