    I was wondering how to do this since canned air seems to only go so far.

    Is it a simple process? Is it time consuming? Do I need any special tools?

    I think you should remove the plastic panel above the keyboard and open 3 screws, it's a little tedious and you might break something but nothing will go wrong if you are careful enough.[This is at least the case with my brother's M1210]

    Thanks Mujtaba. I'll try to remove my keyboard as soon as I can get my hands on a set of screwdrivers.
