Hi Guys,

I spilt my glass of orange juice on my Macbook Pro the other day. It went over the right speaker and part of the keyboard. Wiped it all off and the speaker seems to be fine. Only problem now is that the return and backspace keys are noticeably 'sticky' or 'sluggish' when I press them down. I'm guessing this is due to some of the juice having dryed underneath. Anybody got and ideas how to clean them out? Is it possible to remove the keyboard/individual keys or should I try and reach something underneath by pressing down the keys around them?

You can just pop a key off the keyboard by pulling from an edge.
