Fixing a Key That Has Fallen Off

The first step to fixing a key that has fallen off is to locate the scissor spring underneath the keyboard. The scissor spring is usually found directly beneath the keycap and looks like a small, plastic rectangle with two metal arms at either end.

Once you have located the scissor spring, you will need to align the fallen keycap back with it. To do this, hold the keycap so that its plastic stem fits into the corresponding holes in the scissor spring. Once aligned, press down on the keycap with your finger until it snaps back into place. If necessary, you may need to wiggle your finger back and forth for it to snap down onto the scissor spring.

Finally, test out your newly replaced key by pressing it several times to ensure that it works properly. If everything is working correctly, then you are all done!
