The keys on my Dell laptop are beginning to stick together, I think. When I type one letter, it actually types two, usually the one right next to the right one. Sometimes it eve types one all the way over on the other side, though. I know I should clean it, but I don't know how to open the thing. Is it possible, even? Will my warranty be void if I do it?

Of course it's possible, though it might be tricky on some models, and you didn't specify which one you've got. Generally speaking, all you need to do is unscrew the screws at the bottom panel, lift out the keyboard, unplug the cord connecting it to the motherboard. Then you clean it gently using an alcohol solution. Of course, if you broke a seal doing this, you can kiss your warranty good-buy.
