My understanding is that there is no way to get to the keyboard without removing the batteries which are glued to the back in some way. The system works fine, just I have sticky (meaning they are not responsive) keys, and the trackpad has a bit of 'stick' to it as well. Is there any hope here of getting this cleaned? Is this something the Apple Store can do?" MacInTouch 8:53 AM
