    I have a number 8 key that has fallen off. MSI will fix it but they want me to return the whole computer to them. Dont want to be without my computer for that long. Does anyone know where I could find the little white piece that is located under the key that attachs to the keyboard? Its just two little pieces of plastic. Tried using a old laptop but the plastic pieces are not the same.

    Whoops! That is difficult unless you buy a full replacement keyboard for the MSI GT627. I don't know what else to suggest.
