I think there is something jammed under the 'p' key of my keyboard. Do you guys have any idea how to get it out? I have tried toothpicks and they don't seem to have helped.

Lift off the key?

It would be helful if I knew how to do that. See? Stuid key.

What kind of keyboard is it?

Unless it's some kind of fancy-ass keyboard with unremovable keys, then just lifting it with a knife/screwdirver and a tiny bit of pressure should work.

It's on a Dell lato I bought in September.

A knife. Do eet.

[Zrk2]

Ok, I'll go try it.

I used to use a steak knife to clean under my keys. It scratched the keyboard a bit, but it allowed me to get EVERYTHING out without worrying about the vacuum sucking up the keys.

Big brush with bristles that are sorta medium stiff. Stiff enough to move dust and other accumulations, but pliable enough that it goes under the keys.

I'd suggest not a steak knife for this exact reason. A butter knife is better, and a finger is even better (if you can fit your finger under a key).

Yeah also many laptops are not made with removable keys. So be careful! You might try getting canned air next time, blasting the little bugger out. A better solution is not eating over your kybard
