My Inspiron 1300 is about 2 years old, I've cleaned the cooler out once already, and it could do with it again soon (it's such a cool machine that hearing the fan at all when it's not under crippling CPU load means it needs the dust bunnies removed.), but also the keyboard is due.
The thing is full of crumbs, tobacco, rice, and possibly a small colony of some kind of field mouse. (one of those is a lie). People have told me, and I've come to pretty much the same conclusion, that removing the keyboard on these babies is Krypton Factor material.
Any hints?
Also, once it's out, is there much I can do beyond blowing it out and tipping out such as will tip out. My brother said that the keys themselves are ALMOST impossible to remove and actually impossible to fit back on just right.
Wisdom?
