244738 2004-06-15 05:48:00 Now that I got your attention, my laptop keyboard has decided to lose it's keys. I was typing normally, and I hit the left arrow key and it came off! I pushed it back on but it would only go half on. So it came off pretty quickly again.
I've pulled the key to bits to find the problem and it seems to be the middle thingy.

The middle connecting thing.

The socket.

It seems I need to get part of the middle thing into the top hole in the key socket. But, it won't fit. Can anyone walk me through this? thanks.

"There's a hole in my bucket dear Lisa dear Lisa
There's a hole in .............etc
