    Image 1 Shows key re-inserted and pins locked in place.
    Image 2 Hook the hinge piece to the hooks on the keyboard.
    Image 3 This is a common sight. Unless you can micro-weld this keyboard is your new stock of extra keys. Note the hooks on the keyboard are broken off.
    Image 4 Key back in place. Three minute job.
    When replacing the key , if you remember the little slots under there, here is what you do.
    You have the key in place and it will lay flat. Applying a little pressure on the right lower corner, tip the bottom of the key slightly to the right. "click" Now do it to the left "click".
    Test it and you are done.
    Several of the keys are hooked up sideways. Like the left arrow key.
    Everything is gentle pressure.

    Thanks for the mini-tut! I just bought 2 CF-29's on the 'bay and each one has one key missing. Rather than buying new keyboards I bought the two keys I needed from another seller.
