    A tiny screw from my glasses fell into the keyboard on my studio 15 and it's been randomly messing with my buttons. Is there any way to access the area under the keyboard keys/remove the keys without breaking them?

    If you could get the screw down to the spacebar area you could gently lift up the key and pull it out with some tweezers. Otherwise you probably need to remove the keyboard or shake it upside down.
