    Basically a couple of keys have come loose and I was wondering if there was a way to snap them back into place? I've tried with no success though, so I was wondering if there was a particular technique to doing it?

    I've only had the laptop for a few months but don't want to send it anywhere if it isn't necessary.

    Yeah. I think so. But since they are only loose and otherwise intact I was hoping to find a way to clip them back in rather than buying replacement keys.

    Look at the site again.... Video guides to re-attach them.

    You can lead a horse to water.....

    I already looked and they don't seem to have a video tutorial for my laptop model though.

    Unfortunately those videos supposedly for the 5935G all link to the same one and it isn't anywhere near close to what I have.

    You do mean the bits underneath right? There is no way of fixing keys partially off. You have to take the key off and reconstruct it.
