Stupid question

[trisjung]

Hi,

Probaly a dumb question, but how do I put my "Backspace key" back to the keyboard? It popped out and I have tried for hours to put it back , but I can't figure it out. If I push it hard, it's just jammed and doesn't move freely. How do I do this? Anone?

I couldn't figure out so I took it to a computer repair store. They told me he key was broken and I needed to change the whole keyboard, which would cost me about $150. That's too much, I thought, so I went to another repair store where quoted me $200 to fix it. Well, I guess I will give a krazy glue try.

Depending upon the laptop you have, it can be a simple matter of removing four or five screws or a fairly involved task to disassemble the system and replace the keyboard. Again, depending upon the laptop, used keyboards off of eBay or here in the Marketplace can be had for ~$15.

Download the Hardware Maintenance Manual for your system from here:

to get an idea of how easy (or hard) it is to replace the keyboard.
