    Hello,

    that's the question I'd like to clean my x60s
    and I wonder is it possible to remove temporary the keys to clean the keyboard
    and then to put them back?
    if yes how should I proceed?

    Thank you

    I am not sure about this exact lappy, but in general you can easily dismantle the keys by gently pushing them up (use sth like a thin ruler for leverage), preferably from the bottom of each key.

    Then to put them back, you just push them into their place until they click :) After a few you'll get very proficient in this...

    I wouldn't bother with physically taking the keys out. They are VERY easy to break (the little plastic tabs), and before you know it, you could very well trash your entire keyboard in less than 2 minutes. Leave the keys on. Just IMO.
