Canned air? Sounds Spaceballs-ish, but okay! I just hope I have enough change in my wallet to get me a can. Thanks for the advice!

You can buy compressed air to clean between the keys, just don't come too close or it can "blow them of"
Good luck

What's the best way to clean a laptop keyboard? I tried cleaning it earlier today, but I can still see some dust and debris underneath the keys. Is there any way that I can get it all out? IS it okay to pull out the keys in order to clean what's under them? |

| Well my "scan" is finished. It found ONE Trojan virus and removed it. One. Not three hundred. One. I have NO idea what the story is with this thing or viruses or "dangers" or whatever. It says it is fixed. I can read that so I suppose it is true. |

That's my next upgrade...motherboard can't handle the RAM i have...gonna change cases too - this is one of those 'space saving' models...makes it a little hard to change internal things.
