    Hmm well is the key actually broken? Or perhaps the 'holder' in the keyboard is? If this is the case then you'll probably need to order either a replacement key or a new keyboard. I got a scratch on my F1 key and I have been flipping out about it but am yet to order a sweet new one. I don't even know if you can order single keys.

    Most notebook keyboard arent meant to be detachable.

    You can buy a new keyboard on ebay for like $20. Takes about 3mins to install. Saves you the time of sending it in.

    Thanks everyone! I had already spent 2 hours tampering with it and now it suddenly snaps back in (I did it according to that website). I'm ecstatic.

    Look I can backsp

    Sorry 'bout that. It is great to stop having to hit the delete button everytime I get a typo.

    Be careful as it could pop out again in the future
