step 1
Pick up the key and any other parts that fell loose. Make sure you don’t lose anything.
Step 2
Detach the key retainer from the key. The retainer is usually a coupe little plastic pieces that can move, and that snap into the key. If the retainer is still attached to the keyboard in its metal bindings, keep it there.
Step 3
Remove another key to observe how the retainer fits into the bindings. Usually it involves slipping one part under a metal hook or groove, then snapping the opposite side in place. You don’t always have to remove another key if you can figure out how to do it yourself.
Step 4
Once the retainer is in place, snap the key back on by pressing it into the retainer.
Tips:
* Do not try to push the key back in place right away, until you are sure the key retainer is in place properly. Attempting o push the key with the retainer still attached back into place can bend the metal housing making it impossible to get the key back in place.
* Do not try to force anything to hard. The only part that will require a little force is snapping the key back in place after the retainer is set properly.
* If the key came out, but the retainer is still attached, just snap the key back in place.
* If the retainer or the bindings on the keyboard key itself become damaged, using a drop of superglue can bind things in place–but the key might not sit or type exactly the same as all the other keys.
