    Well, as everyone knows the keyboard on the NP9170 leaves something to be desired.

    I'm trying to clean my laptop now and of course I want to pry the keyboard up so I can dust under it. But these keys are extraordinarily difficult to get up. How do I do it? They feel like they are going to break wen I try to pry them up. Never encountered a laptop with such a difficult keyboard to work with.

    Thanks!

    Well the video I found just shows you how to pry up the keyboard wholesale from the laptop. I'd like to get under the individual keys..

    You're liable to break the retainer clips if you take the keys off. It's not entirely necessary to clean under the individual keys, so I would advise that you don't.
