    HAHAHAHA, sorry, thats funny. If you can, try to put it back on. If not, call dell and they'll send you a replacement keyboard.

    Try carefully sticking in back in. It might not be broken.

    Weird, my c button randomly became defective. It requires being pressed more careful/precise than all the other keys. Then again, I noticed it after a kid got on my laptop, I still think he damaged my c key, no freaking clue how...
