I have pried keys off of 4 full size keyboards, 1 Duo 230 and 1 PB 540 keyboard. I can usually get them off with my fingers, but I have used a large bladed screwdriver. Put your tool or finger under one corner of the key and use slowly progressive force until it pops off. Be careful that you are in an area where you can easily find the spacebar when it pops off. Keys usually fly off in unpredictable directions and distance. Lastly, yes, I have had the same problem. It was the stabilization wire underneath as the previous poster noted.
