Touches de clavier "dures"

Hello,

I'm presenting my little problem to you. I have a laptop, and everything was fine until a few days ago...
Some keys on my keyboard have become "hard," which means I have to tap several times on the key for it to register the letter!
I particularly have this issue with the E, T keys, and the space bar :-(
In your opinion, what could it be due to?
I thought about cleaning my keyboard, but I'm a bit hesitant to turn my laptop upside down like I do with my PC keyboard!
And can we remove the keys to see underneath if there's something blocking??
Thanks in advance for your help!!
Configuration: Vista

    On a a laptop, you pull on the key and it will come off.

      Thanks for your response, yesterday I wanted to do it but since there was a slight resistance I didn't dare, clumsy as I am I thought I would mess everything up lol
      I'll test it right away!

      My G key hadn't been working for several days, suddenly; I came across your trick; I didn't even have to remove it; I felt that it was slightly recessed; I pressed it down fully and heard a CLICK! My G key is smooth and brand new! Thank you, you've given me my best Easter egg!!!

      I was too lazy to do what you said, so I took a skewer and slid it into the small spaces at the ends of the Z key and I heard a "click" and there you go.
