    My TAB button is a bit jammed, I really need to press it hard to have it register. Is there any way to remove keys to clean up everything underneath? I've tried using a blowdryer to flush everything out, turned it upside down, etc but its still hard to press. Any suggestions would be great.

    Its an XPS1530, forgot to mention it.

    If the M1530's keyboard button design is similar to the M1710, then I'm guessing that return-assembly under the key might have gotten displaced or damaged. The safe course of action is to contact Dell XPS Premiere Tech Support and send a tech and/or replacement keyboard.
