something stuck under key on macbook

Hi,

Does anyone know how easy it would be to either remove the keyboard to try and remove something that has lodged under a key on a macbook or can you remove the keys?

Type the words "keyboard key removal" into Google and you will find a plethora of ways to undertake this task.

Why do you think I have asked here and not just done a google search (which I did before asking the question)? It's because I trust the users on this site to give me good advice and have no way of knowing if the guides on other sites (from the google search I did before asking the question) are any good or even accurate.

If I just wanted to remove the keyboard I would do so using one of the guides (from the google search I did before asking the question) but that may be pointless if I can't access the keys from underneath which I believe (from the google search I did before asking the question) I may not be able to.

If I can remove and replace the key without removing the entire keyboard and looks quite complicated process (from the google search I did before asking the question) it would be much easier would it not?

....and I'm supposedly telepathic am I? I of course knew, before you said so, that you had undertaken to do a Google search.

When you ask for help and are then offered it it, it is not normally good etiquette to then criticise the offeror.

Deal with your own problem, I won't be offering any further help to you.

It was not sarcastic. Though you, due to your obvious obnoxious manner, chose to read it as such.

I gave you a set of specific words to look up. The reason I offered those specific words was because I myself had gone to the trouble of looking them up before posting for you.

I wont be making any further comments on this, and therefore you need not respond.
