    Hey, I have a IBM Thinkpad R50e (Lenovo - 1834-S5G)

    I have had the laptop 6 months, and its working great. But im starting to get muck under the keys. Is their anyway I can safely remove the keys to clean what is under them, or would I need to get it serviced by a proper shop?

    Regards,
    Hunter

    You can pop the keys on an off with a little pressure. A vacuum might even do the trick. No need for a repair shop trip though, unless you can't operate it properly.
