    I imagine it shouldn't be too difficult. Perhaps a quick call to your reseller's tech support is the best way to get a walk-through.

    I called and they said that they had never had the keys off of the HEL80 and that they didn't know exactly how to get them back on. After watching a youtube video I have the basic idea down but can't seem to get the back hook connected correctly. I think I may need to bend the metal part a bit. I'm frankly amazed that it came lose in the first place based on how it its attached.
