Dell let me replace my own, I'm surprised Gateway would want an entire unit back just for that job. I agree with Sandrock, although I would try blowing it out while still in the laptop first, but maybe that'* not a good idea.

It'* going to depend on the brand laptop you jave. Each company will have it'* own warranty limitations.
My IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad'* keyboard is super simple to remove, so it'd be a breeze to fix.
Your first stop should be the web site of the manufacturer. Most of them have a support forum, kinda like this one, where someone with a similar issue may be able to help you out.
