    Anyone have tips or could explain how to put a key back on to the keyboard? The number 9 poped off. Wonder if there is an easy way to put it back on.

    Regards,

    Mike

    It should just easily click back in unless the plastic mold on the key broke.

    Well, does it clip back in by apply direct straight down pressure or is it cliped in at an angle? Anywhere I can find instructions?

    The plastic clip needs to hook on the metal, so yes its in at an angle.
