    One of my keys fell of (the right arrow key) and I can't get it back on. I have the actual key and two plastic pieces but how do I get it back on?

    I got the standard warranty, they said they would replcae it free. How come I can't just pop it back on some how.

    EDIT- Okay I can get the top part to snap in now but the bottom doesn't really fit. It keeps making a clicking noise but doesn't stay in.

    When are they replacing? At least it's not a key you would use 100% of the time per se! ;)

    Umm what, where did you pull that figure?

    As for repairing it, if it doesn't pop make on with some firm pressure then the key is broke. They will most likely just send you a replacement if they agreed to fix it and you can install it yourself.
