    HI, All of a sudden the g on my keyboard is hard to press down. I was wondering ways I could try to fix it. The manual tells how to remove the keyboard but not how to fix individual keys.

    They are just held on by clips, can be a pain to get back on once removed, you might try to see if something got under the key. I've used canned air to clean out debris.

    Right, the clips that hold the key caps in place are fragile. There's no trick to it, though; they just pop off (and often times, that's also how they're broken). Have you already tried using an air compressor or something small and flat to get under the key cap?
