Hi there.
My A key on my laptop's keyboard has been sticking lately, and it just fell off.
I put it back on, and hooked the clips into the holes on the bottom of the key, but it keeps unlatching.
Does anybody have any idea how to fix this?
 
Solution


Then you are not connecting it properly. Only two possible things that would cause a key to fall off, broken connections or those connections are not seated.
You can buy a replacement key if the clips on the key itself are broken. If it's broken on the main keyboard part, need to replace the keyboard.
 


From what I can see, the clips are not broken (on the keyboard or the key) but it keeps falling off.
