Title: Quick question!
Post by: FurryJunky on June 17, 2012, 06:42:08 PM: Is it healthy for my laptop to keep it pluged into the charger for long periods of time?
And.
If there is stuf under my keys, is it safe to just... "rip" the key out to clean it out?

2. You can do that no problem, just pull it off carefully so you won't damage the hinge.

2. Just be carful pulling them out, you don't want to damage the actual keyboard.

Post by: Kamoku on July 29, 2012, 05:43:12 AM: Lithium Ion batteries are fine to leave plugged in forever (most devices these days use Lithium Ion batteries). Lithium Ion batteries are also fine to be recharged even when they haven't fully discharged.

As for the keys, most of them should come off no problem but I hear the function keys (F1 - F12) don't come off on some laptops and taking them off will wreck them. All the other keys pop off though and go back on easily.
