    Hey guys

    I have an HP Compaq 8510w Mobile Workstation laptop, and I'm wondering if there's a way to take off separate keys on the keyboard. I found a guide telling me how to take the keyboard itself off, but is there a way to take just a single key off? I don't want to stick a screwdriver under one and crank, because I don't know if that will break it (probably will :( ).

    Thanks guys.

    Not that that should matter, but to clean out something sticky right under it.
