    Help 2 keys (F7 F8) have have unattached themselves from the keyboard. They are on a little hinge and I cannot get them to reattach permanently. Any idea how to do so?

    I think this is a major weakness with this keyboard (I had the same problem, I lost my E)

    Fortunately you don't need to use them much... I think you have to be very very careful not to shear off one of the tiny plastic lugs in the mechanism. think that's what did for my E - it's worth looking at the whole thing under a magnifying glass then looking at an unbroken one and figuring how it fits in.

    The first time it happened I just clicked it back in and it stuck just fine but eventually it came off again and I bought a new keyboard (probably about £13, $20).

    Also, because they're not ones u actually need u could get away with some super-glue (or whatever works) very carefully applied.
