- Broken off some keys?
-
Whoops, these are a difficult one to fix and once again often end in having to replace
the keyboard entirely. Some very small plastic mounting arms hold the keys in place
and are often broken, either that or the little clips that the mounting arms click
into break. It's handy to have or get a hold of an old keyboard of the same type
in order to poach the parts you need.
-
You may need some tweezers and a steady hand to fix these. The best thing I can
suggest is to gently remove one of the other keys to see exactly how the mounting
arms sit, once you have an idea of how it should look grab those tweezers and be
patient, it may take some time.

We will soon have some detailed photos showing how these are assembled, until then
remember to be patient and gentle.
