After about three years, a lot of dust is accumulated under my iBook keyboard. I'm wondering... what is the best way to clean it? is it safe to remove the keys of the keyboard to do some cleaning? or is it going to be a nightmare to put them back?

As long as you're careful with snapping the keys off, it should be fine. Warning though - I had serious issues getting my spacebar back on. I'd recommend not taking the spacebar off if you can avoid it.

Thanks for the warning. I'll wait for a couple of days before taking any decision
