Here are some steps to help you fix your laptop key:
- Clean Around The Key. Clean around the missing key with an anti-static brush or a toothbrush. This helps remove dirt and other debris that may be inhibiting your laptop's ability to recognize the key.
- Check Your Keyboard Layout. Seeing as you've lost a key, make sure you double-check your keyboard layout. This will help you locate the exact positioning for the new key.
- Purchase The New Key. After you've determined the exact positioning for the new key, you'll have to purchase a compatible replacement. Ensure that the replacement key corresponds with your laptop's model number.
- Install The New Key. Install the new key and ensure it is secure. Most laptop keys use a small plastic scissor switch and a metal guide bar to secure the key – first insert the guide bar, then the plastic switch.
