ive got the black/clear model, and i want to clean the inside of it. compressed air isnt working for the bottom part, it works fine for in conjunction with taking the keys off of it, but no the underside. can i just unscrew the
2 hex screws and it will come apart? i dont want to ruin anything....

Wow, changing ram, swapping a cpu and adding a harddrive to a powerbook seems easier than those instructions for cleaning the keyboard, lol.

Thats funny you posted this, because I just cleaned my pro keyboard. To clean it, I took off all the keys, wedged the aircan straw underneath the edge of the keyboard, and tried to spray away all the hairs and crap that was stuck down there. It worked pretty good, theres still a few little things but its not nearly as bad as before. The bad part was putting all the keys back.
