    I was trying to fix two keyboard keys on my laptop and I couldn't fit them back on, even though I've done this before on other laptops. Eventually, two hours and two raw fingers later, the plastic clip to one of them has a piece broken off, and a metal clip from the laptop itself is broken for each of the two keys. How do I keep these keys to stay on?

    P.S. My mom will get really angry at me if she finds it, so answer ASAP please.

    Don't know which model you have but usually you can get a new keyboard from eBay for less than $20. Replacing it won't be difficult, just google.
