480862 2006-08-26 23:46:00 hello, I am new here and I am having problems with my compaq presario r3320ca model notebook. Its right arrow key has come off. Not just the key but the cross mechanism system. Pics will be below. Nothing seems to be broken I just do not know how to reassemble this. Any guides, or walkthroughs are greatly appreciated as i do not wish to pay to get such a small thing fixed. Though if I must.. so be it.

---PICS---
The pieces i have that broke off.

480863 2006-08-27 00:02:00 I would gently lift off another key and see how its done .

I had the same prob with a Toshiba I was fixing . I had to lift off another key .

I soon got it back together tho .

480865 2006-08-27 23:14:00 Well, i fixed the second key that broke. And the first one should work, but i just realized comparing it to the other one, its missing part of the rubber burrton, its too short on the only right arrow key, it should be almost 2x as high, and tips on what to do? maybe paper wedge? or any ideas, do you know if you can easily replace those? grantwall (11052)
480866 2006-08-27 23:45:00 I am not sure there is anything on replacing or repairing keyboard bits on this site (www.irisvista.com) but you could have a look anyway, just in case. FoxyMX (5)

480868 2006-08-28 01:09:00 Yea ive seen sites already like these, I know the problem the membrane is broken, in a sense, its short, possibly the top half broke off and I have to replace that, because without it i can get the key back on, but it doesnt pop up it just ends up stayin down grantwall (11052)
