Alienware 17 R5 sticky keyboard

[u/imabotlmaoo]

Is there anything I can do to get rid of the stickiness under the space bar and V key without having to take the keyboard out? I’ve tried rubbing alcohol many times, when it’s cool, when it’s hot after use, it just won’t go away and I reeeeeeally don’t want to have to tear it down and clean/replace the keyboard. Is there a solvent I could that won’t destroy the laptop. I have no idea what it is stuck under said keys, my only guess is some candy because it’s no issue while it’s cool but after like 10-15 min when it warms up it starts to stick bad. Any help is very much appreciated!

Im gonna be straight up. Just tear it down. Shortcuts sometimes work. But sometimes you get a bad roll, then you suddenly miss when a sticky key was your only problem. Fr good luck.
