How Do You Fix A Keyboard Key?
One minute you’re typing away, and then a key just stops working. The solution is to fix the broken key, rather than buy a new keyboard. No need to go to a professional. Just follow these steps. Step 1 Remove key cover from a key that is working so that only the cover comes off, leaving the insides intact. This will aid you in knowing exactly how the key should be put back together. Step 2 Identify the “key retainers” which are small plastic parts that hold the rubber gasket in place. There likely will be two pieces that may interlock together and snap in place at four different points. Use tweezers to gently lift the retainers up and make note of how they link and where they snap together. Step 3 Use the tweezers to unsnap the retainers you need to replace the rubber gasket underneath. Start by unsnapping the inner retainer from the outer one, one side at a time. Then unsnap one end, again one side at a time. Finish removing the final gasket by softly pulling it out with your fingers.
