Check out the documents link in my sig and you'll find how to fit a new key.

To remove an existing key use a very thin impliment to flick off the key top which will get you to the mechanism underneath.

Alternatively instead of typing "5", type "4+1" and don't use "%"!

PoshG, that's not the problem, the key is intact but no response on the screen when I type.

In all likelihood, a replacement keyboard will be required.

Good luck.
