So I finally sent my powerbook in to get its white spots fixed, and the screen looks great... but they forgot to fix my keyboard with its ultra-sensitive 'J' key. The applecare people were very apologetic and offered to send me another box, but I don't really want to be without my computer for another few days.

The problem is that just barely brushing over the J causes it to type, and often times I will get multiple J's for every key depression. I'd like to try and fix it myself, but I'm afraid of damaging the keyboard to the point of voiding the applecare. Anyone have experience taking the keys off of the AlBooks? Anything I should be careful of?
