Most key problems that I've encountered have either been resolved with deoxit, or required extensive trace repair on the keyboard PCB due to corrosion. The key caps come off w/ a standard keycap puller. I'm not sure if the switches are the same as the 100 keyboard or not; if they are, I have a parts machine I could pull one from.
