         Well you did not mention that you were using the Laptop as a 
laptop!
I use my notebooks as main computer up on an easel.  This was intended
to spare the notebook's keyboard from my sticky, greasy, fumbling fingers.
      I saved using the notebook's keyboard for meetings  so that I 
would get
maximum life out of it.
         I used to disassemble my Amiga keyboards which were not i
interchangeable with other keyboards of that distant time, cleaning each
contact to keep them working.  Proprietary hardware was never
cheap except as originally built.

     You might find a manual online to help you remove and clean your 
keyboard
otherwise remove and replace your model's kb with a new clean non-sticky
keyboard.  I have done that too but it was some time back when I had a lot
more energy.

     Good luck with that sticky "H" key.
