    I have a slight problem with my keyboard. The W,A,S, and D keys when pressed down have a squeaking sound, I have never used this Chiclet style keyboard before so i am not sure how to remove the keys, has anyone here tried removing the keys without removing the whole keyboard? Do i just pop off the keys liked the old style keyboards or is there a different way to do it?

    Thanks,

    Download the Service Manual for your laptop and it will show you how to remove every parts.

    I am pretty sure the "Chiclet" style keyboards use the same type of keys that pop-off as older style keyboards. Here is a guide on a MAC YouTube - How to remove, replace, change, or possibly fix a macbook key
    I want that tool :D . Another guy does it with a toothpick too :)
    From the looks of it you should be able to lift the key high enough to see underneath.
