Replacing a key on the keyboard

â–ª If the key has fallen off and you still have the detached key, use the following instructions to reattach the key.

NOTE: Before performing any of the steps below, unplug the AC power and remove the battery from the system.

1. Shake the keycap to expose the plastic x-shaped scissor hinge hanging below it.

2. Carefully note the position of the scissor hinge relative to the letter marked on the topside of the keycap. This will ensure that you are able to attach the hinge to the keyboard and then attach the key back to the hinge with the letter remaining upright.

3. From the underside of the keycap, carefully pull to remove the scissor hinge. Observe how the scissor hinge snaps into the underside of the keycap.

4. Slip each of the four legs of the scissor hinge underneath the appropriate loops on the key assembly on the keyboard where the keycap will go. The scissor hinge will stand straight up when its legs are slipped under the loops on the key assembly.

5. Carefully line up the letter on the topside of the keycap with the rest of the keyboard keys and then push firmly down onto the key. The keycap will snap into place.

â–ª If you cannot attach the key and your computer is under warranty, please [Reply] to this email and be sure to include the following information:
