Just got my first blackberry after longing for it since my sister had one back when they were new. Seller was very kind and upfront about the buttons. When I received the phone it looked like the lighting issue they mentioned might just be gunk behind the key, is there any way to clean that without having to replace the whole keyboard. I tried to look it up but the tear downs I saw either removed the whole keyboard entirely or didn’t remove the part it seems it would be.

Using a thin pry tool I was able to look underneath the top button and it looks dirty but it doesn’t seem to be the little symbol cut out that looks blocked.

Any help or clarification would be greatly appreciated!
