    Hi Everyone,
    one of my keyboard keys has come loose and I don't know how to set it back.
    Has anybody experienced this and how did you resolve this.
    I'm this close to using some heavy duty glue to just stick it once and for all.
    But I'd rather know a better way of fixing incase it happens on another key.

    THanks

    You are pretty much going to need to get the keyboard rreplaced. If you are still under warranty, call Envy Concierge and see what is necessary. I wouldn't fiddle with glue or the like to fix they keyboard. Just had my keyboard replaced because the right ALT key was going to pop off at some point. Not worth trying to fix.

    Yup, I broke a key all the way off on my previous Envy 14 and they would only replace the whole thing. I got it to the point that the guy said he'd order me a replacement keyboard and let me do it myself, but the keyboard is like $90. Incidentally, the cost to me for an upgrade to the Accidental Damage Plan (ADP) was $99, so I did that and sent it in. What happened next is a another story :(.

    But to answer your question, there isn't really a way to fix an individual key (as far as I know).
