Recently the "D" key on my keyboard fell off. I can still press it and it works but its annoying and I'd like to put back the covering on it. Is there a way to do this? Do I need to take it to a tech support place?

Have you tried just pushing it back on? Is something broken, or did it just fall off? Usually you can just pop the key back into place. What kind of computer do you have?

did the little bracket the holds the key onto the keyboard stay attached to the keyboard or the key? if it's on the keyboard, you usually just need to give the key a hard press onto the bracket. if not... you have a much bigger problem. if the bracket comes off, odds are the metal bits that hold the bracket down are bent, which are extremely difficult to straighten (use the smallest pair of pliers or tweezers you can find). then you have to slide the bracket in without breaking it, which is by far the hardest part. if you manage to do that, then you just have to press the key on. look at the bottom of the key, someitmes a hard press will do it, sometimes you have to kind of do a slide-press. its not hard.
