Local Time: 02:06 AM | what's the best way to pop off laptop keys? i think i need to clean under my "a" key as it skips typing every now and then. i've never taken keys off a laptop keyboard before. just how easy is it to pop those little suckers off and should i use something like a screwdriver to pop it off with? i want to clean it, not break it, heehee! |

Local Time: 03:06 AM | Be really careful with those little fuckers...it ain't like taking a flathead screwdriver to your normal keyboard keys for popping them off. I actually had to order a replacement laptop keyboard because I broke one doing this. They are really fragile so be gentle. |

Local Time: 04:06 AM | Yes they have little plastic tabs on each side that hold them in place and these pieces are all thinner than a sewing needle. Can you use an air compressor and just blast out whatever is under there?
