FAQ's
Q: My Key Cap will not click down in place correctly. Whats wrong?
A: If your Key Cap is not clicking down in place correctly, it is most likely due to the Retainer Clip not being properly installed or damaged. Remove the Cap and inspect for damage or that its not laying down flush and properly snapped in itself. Compare to another Clip if needed by removing another Cap.

Q: The Hinge Clips 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.

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?
A: They fit together with a small plastic pin on the left and right of the inner clip. These fit into holes on the outer clip. To see exactly how the inner clip sits in the outer clip, remove another key cap and copy the clip under it.

Q: The rubber spring came off. How do I reattach it?
A: There isn't really a good way to reattach those. 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.

I'm trying to move the easier hardware stuff there so that I can focus on the more in depth troubleshooting and diagnostic videos here :)

Thanks so much for this video.
Sorry about this, but the video contrast is a little much on the white parts, that unless your hand is over it a little bit, the (literal) key components can't be seen

Thank you so much I really needed this😊

Thank you for taking your time answering question, there are so many different issues and the comment section covers them all.

[cardosojosephine]

Thanks a lot!! After struggling for more than an hour, I watched your video and finally understood how to put back a key I'd removed from my work laptop.

Thank you! I fixed my son's keyboard exactly as what you showed in your video.

FYI for everyone. On the Dell Inspiron 3505's when you put the retaining clip back in you must start at the top to hinge the clip in first and then snap in the bottom. I tried starting from seating the bottom first and then snapping in the top and almost broke the retaining clip on the left side.

Thank you 🙏 for you awesome and detailed video.

My Dell G15 “D” key popped off, but in my case the retaining clip was still attached to the key that popped off and not attached to the keyboard as in your video. I didn’t panic but gently disconnected the retaining clip from the D title at the corners like you showed then followed your video to reattach the clip to the keyboard then to reattach the tile to the keyboard and BINGO it worked perfectly.

Once again thank you much for this great video 🎥

Hey so my "W" key is actually pretty loose and it comes out or gets stuck everytime I press it and the "W" key has the clip attached to it any idea on how to fix this??
My laptop is a dell inspiron 3593

[PierceCountyFirearms]

Thank you for this video. I had to use tweezers to place it correctly. My cat decided to run across my work laptop and busted two of the keys out. Luckily I was able to fix it. Now I keep my laptop closed.

[Brendaa]

Today out of nowhere my s key suddenly started becoming lose so I just shut down my laptop and left it there for a few hours and when I came back the s key had just completely become unlose without me touching it at all. When I looked at the s key that white thing came off with it and was stuck with the key so i took it off and tried putting the white thing back in the s key slot but I'm having a lot of difficulty putting it back in as the top 2 hooks won't get in while the bottom 2 do fit in so i'm panicking a bit. My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 3500.

If you could please respond asap as i'm sort of panicking right now because i've only has it for 3 months and already having issues.

Quick update, either I have a very poorly made laptop or the metal they use to make the hooks is incredibly weak because the top left hook just fell off, I really don't know what to do.

This a.m. removed key tab cover and there are 2 square-ish black plastic pcs under the cap that are no longer joined together. I can barely make out any pins on them or which side should be down or up. I barely detect some ridges on one side. Should those ridges go in first? And does the center sq go on top or on the bottom of the frame of the second pc? Really I am having trouble with vision on this project
