Hello,
my down arrow on my laptop popped off. nothing seems broken, I just don't know how to reattach the key to the computer. Please help me!
 
Solution
Every key on your keyboard consists of the actual button, and a plastic mechanism that lifts the button when you're not pressing it.

If the plastic mechanism came off as well, put it back onto the board first. (The plastic mechanism might be attached to the button, remove it from the button and put it onto the board.) Then carefully push the button back onto the board.
