Hello, I spilled a few drops of a drink onto the keyboard of my Nitro 5 laptop and now the tab, caps loch, and shift keys are sticky. This would not be a big deal as a usually use a USB keyboard, but sometimes while traveling I will need to use the built in one. I play a lot of League and I have my scoreboard bound to tab, so it gets really frustrating when it keeps sticking down. Is it possible to remove the keys to clean underneath them and then reinstall them? Thank you and have a good day.

    laptop computers have a keyboard integrated into the laptop unit, it can become a major problem if a single key becomes loose or stuck. When a key stops striking properly, you may need to remove it from the keyboard to reset the key and troubleshoot the problem.
    Step 1
    Open up the laptop so that the keyboard is accessible. Use your thumb to press down on the keys immediately below the key you want to remove.
    Step 2
    Use your index finger to lift the key you wish to remove from the top, peeling it back toward the keys you are depressing with your thumb. The key should snap loose with moderate pressure.
    Step 3
    Use tweezers to remove the key binding from the keyboard. After you take off the key, you will likely notice a few pieces of plastic still attached to the keyboard. This is the key retainer or binding. (The flat part of the key that you strike is the key cap.) Keep in mind you will need to reset the retainer on the keyboard before reattaching the key cap, so you may want to leave it in place.

    But when you take it of, can you place it back on yourself?

    They are able to be put back on by you. Just do the exact opposite of taking it off. Slide the bottom piece in first then push it forward slightly and down. It should snap in with some pressure.
