FAQ's:
Q: My Key Cap will not click down in place correctly. Whats wrong?
A: If the key assembly is not installing correctly, its either due to a component being damaged and needing to be replaced or a component not being orientated correctly. I would disassemble the key as seen here in this video and inspect for damage. If there is no damage, install the key. If there is damage, replace the key. Would you like help locating a key? If so, what is the brand and model for your computer?

Q: The Retainer Clip is not staying down on the Keyboard.
A: If the Retainer Clip is not fitting into place, there are a few possible reasons. The Retainer Clip could be damaged and not able to fit in correctly. The Retainer Clip may not be assembled correctly or not orientated correctly. Or the the metal pins on the Keyboard are damaged or bent out of place and not able to fasten the Retainer Clip down properly.

Q: Where can I purchase replacement keys?

Q: I have a Key or Keys that are not working. Will this fix them?

Q: The hinge clip came apart into two pieces. How can I reassemble?

Q: The rubber spring came off. How do I reattach it?
A: There isnt really a good way to reattach the Rubber Springs. They are not meant to be replaced. Best advice is try to use a small amount of glue. If that does not work, you may have to replace the keyboard.

Q: The Hinge Clip came off with the Key Cap. What do I do?
A: Because they key can usually not be reinstalled with the Retainer Clip and the Key Cap still attached to each other, you would have to separate them as seen here, using a small flat pry tool.

Thank you. My kid broke her laptop key and this video helped me to carefully put it back in place. It's working like a charm now.

I had the Q key stop working during the middle of a 48 hour game jam (48 hours to make a video game), Took it off to try and fix it, but because of the time stress I had to just put it off. Now that its over, I googled, found this video and in seconds everything is perfect! Thank you <3

[lauraciociola]

thank you for sharing this! i just thought i broke my one of my keys, but your video made it super easy to fix.

Great video! Concise & to the point 👍I was afraid I'd snap the plastic thing you mentioned, but I didn't. However, I broke a plastic hook that's part of the key lol I'm glad I was able to fix this myself.

You, sir, are a lifesaver. As with a lot of people, money is pretty tight, so I can't just buy a new keyboard...not to mention you say that doing that weakens the computer. Luckily, the little plastic tabs on the white thing weren't broken, so I could put it back together....after a while. I was born with tremors so doing little handiwork like this is really difficult for me. But...I managed to get my key back on.

The whole mess started because I accidentally got...something in the cracks of the key. So, I pried it off...and thought I broke it. Luckily, your video saved me a lot of trouble. Thanks for the video.

You literally just saved my life❤️ I was struggling for 2hrs straight trying to put that dang key back on

Very helpful! My son dropped his Chromebook and lost 2 keys. I had no idea how to put on the replacements that I ordered. Thanks. It was a lot easier than I expected.

[mehmeterenbulut]

Thank you man! I was searching for it and kind of depressed because I thought that the laptop keycaps are not removable and I need to see some technic service just to fix 1 key that isn't working properly! You made my day.

[lizzytreks]

Thank you so I am a mom and my teen son told me he had a dead key, fixed it and it worked. Did as you said. Saved me from paying someone else to do an easy job!

[lukethenuke]

This totally helped! I spilt a drink on my keyboard, and I only wanted to know what not to break. I successfully cleaned it out, and learned a bunch of new things about keyboards!

[konrad]

Thank you very much - you are a real live saver!
I couldn't press one of my keys properly anymore. But I also didn't want to break my Notebook Keyboard.
Thanks to your Video I was able to remove the key, clean up and put it back together - as good as new now!

[Basiliokarani]

I cleaned my lower direction key (it had been constantly pressing itself) although I used a kitchen knife, I was still able to get the dirt out. Thank you for the guidance! keep making more videos

I broke one of the plastic things and the key is slightly leaning forwards now. But from all the keys I removed and clean, only one mistake was actually pretty good for a first time! So satisfying to clean the keyboard btw, do recommend :)

[flipppbook]

Thank you so much! I had grit under one of my keys (turned out to be a bit of mechanical pencil lead) that was making it feel weird and not always register, got it out, this is such a relief. When I popped it out, the inner part of the retainer clip came with the keycap (mine is shaped as bit different and i didn't know where the edge was to hold it down) and I screamed at each click, I fully thought I'd broken it but I popped them back together and everything is fine :) It probably would've been funny to watch :P

[hermindalopez]

With a bit of patience and looking carefully at your instructions it worked!! Thank you so much!!!

[DiscoveringTheFacts]

Thank you sir for the knowledge passed. There was a tiny particle stuck in my f3 key, so I removed the key thinking it would be easy to put back like my previous dell laptop. I started panicking when I was unable to fix it back, then I decided to Youtube it and your video came up. Thanks

[lee]

thank you so much big man. literal life saver, i hope both sides of your pillow are cold <3

[Venkat]

EXACTYL WHAT I NEEDED thankyou so much !
I was finally able to fix my ? mark key

[pennypearls]

Thank you so much! The website I ordered from was very detailed in how to tell which laptop key/clip type you needed to get, but you were on your own for the replacement process, even though they promised video tutorial on every kind of laptop key they sold! Smh
