    Hello,
    I just received my Dell Inpsiron E1505 three days ago. Everything seems good, except my keyboard seems really loose and noisy. And most annoying is that my space bar squeaks every time i press it. How do you remove the key (not the whole board) without breaking anything? I'd like to try removing and at looking and checking beneath the key itself. Thanks guys.

    Don't mess with taking keys off, just call them and have them send a new keyboard. Being that it is 3 days old it should have no problems and replacing the keyboard is extremely easy.

    I got online and chatted with a tech rep. They're shipping me a new keyboard. I love that chat option. It sure beats being on the phone, or sitting on hold forever.
