I was cleaning my keyboard on my wifes laptop and thought I broke spacebar. But to make a long story short... I fixed it by looking at your video. Thank you man!!!
OMG You sir are the BEST!!! I came home to find my "R" key mysteriously removed from my laptop and the right pin on the inner plastic insert broken. I had no idea how to fix it but thank God for your very patient and clear tutorial I managed to get my key working again even with a broken inner pin!
Thank you! You hit the part that everyone else leaves out, which is the orientation, top/bottom (or back/front whichever way you look at it) of the hinge. So the little bump hint was the "key" so to speak to know which way the hinge goes toward the board or away. Thank you!!!
Out of so many videos for fixing keys, yours had the key logic-"to take a side view"! And that clicked !! Even though I was working with a different model and smaller key(up arrow), it just helped me figure out the mechanism!!! Thanx a ton!!!
Thanks so much for this! An IT technician friend of mine wasn't able to fix the keys, said it was banjaxed. I found your video, followed the instructions and fixed it myself! Working perfectly now. Thanks again!
Thanks, at least you explain how to put those two doo-hickeys back rightly as other videos just showing them doing it fast without any explanation! Good job!
YOU ARE MY GODDAMN HERO! I wasted like 2 fucking hours trying to insert this fkn key, I lost hope and started to look for new keyboard. I came YT like fuck this I already lost my time, maybe some1 will help me and HERE YOU COME. I thought those 2 pins are supossed to lay on second part and create "spring". When I saw I have to insert them into the second part I lost my shit. Liked and subscribed you saved my life mate!
Thanks dude....after my cat decided to use my keyboard as a scratching post, you just saved me from having to buy a new keyboard. Much appreciation and very well explained.
thanks heaps for making this video. My cat ran across the keyboard and ripped a key off with his claws as I pulled him off! I could not figure out how to put it back on properly until I found your video. All fixed now thanks to you. Cheers
Great videoo ! I broke 2 keys, i had no idea how to put it back because the small piece came out, i was freaking out lol but then i found your video &' it helped me a lot!
I've spent frustrating hours trying to fix this. I looked through dozens of videos before I ran into this one which looks identical to the components on my keyboard. Thank you!
Very clear instructions. The visuals and commentary in your video are excellent and the best I found. I had two keys V and H which were not completely detached, just sticking up at odd angles which made typing difficult. It turns out, the pins of the smaller hinge piece had come out of the holes in the larger piece. Watching your video I was able to put things right in a matter of minutes. Thank you so much! I have a fully functioning keyboard again.
geez! 3 yrs ago,out of frustration- i ditched my IBM Thinkpad.in a closet because nomatter how much itried, i couldn't getthe keys to stay on the board.First the left arrow key, next to go was the home key for a while i had saved the keys, intending to fix them later; but i started tinkering with t, now it's in a thousand pieces. lol tnx for this posting, methink you saved a samsung npp149, from a similar fate
Yes I have a special piece that I can put on my vacuum so that I can remove all the dust and other stuff from my keyboard. But I hit one of the buttons with the piece of plastic where the brush is attached to. So I should not have puched so hard :)
dude you rock! I have been trying to figure this out on my own for probably hours and get angrier at my 2 year old by the minute because he pulled them off lol. Thanks
i pressed on the w key lightly and then it broke but u saved me tnx tnx tnx and i would reccomend this vid to anyone who has broken key 10/10 useful u saved me m8
Thank you! I was terrified when my key popped off, and I looked up tutorials on how to fix it, and spent hours watching them, yet none helped. Then I found yours, and it worked! My D key was the one that broke, and without it I can't play videogames on PC. :D
From the bottom of my aggravated heart, I thank you. I could not figure out what I was doing wrong! I didn't even take the key off on purpose. For anyone in my position: his explanation, and even most of the visuals, translate to the Gateway NE-522 with the exception of the orientation. Side note: Ever feel like you knew exactly what you were doing until an hour later and you're ready to scream?!
Thanks for this video!.. You have no clue what I have been putting myself through to get one key back on that my 1 year old popped off. I was ready to just take a bath with the laptop plugged in.. not really but ...thanks for the video lol
Thank you so much, your tutorial save me from a heart attack. I got an Acer E15-571 an the right arrow ( FN brightness up) at first was acting weird then stop working, and I did fix it thanks to your video. Muchas gracias. By the way yours was the best tutorial I found on youtube.
thanks man. "my q,a,z keys" is not working. good that i fix it now thanks to you. found out that "z key" plastic is not aligned. now q,a,z is now working.
Thank you so much! My W key gave out on me during the middle of a CSGO match, and t turns out one of the pins on the smaller piece slipped out of the large piece! Very helpful, good work.
Thank you very much! The little holes were squasched on the white plastic thingy. With a needle I could finally get them back to normal and it worked! Thanks again. See, it works:@@@@@@@@@@@
This is really helpful. I have rather different keys (dell inspiron 5000 series), but your explanations are so good that I was able to figure out how to replace my keys.
thank you. I removed all my laptop key,thinking that will be the same sistem like the pc keyboards..:)) Total fail..and i had to search for help on this one! Thank you !
I really wana thank you man, but I’m really struggling in here I‘ve been working on it from 4pm but still can’t put the left and right keys in their places. it’s still not working it’s keeps falling off even tho I fixed them a-lot of times, but still they look so terrible. I can’t click them well. I really don’t know what I’am doing wrong. I am stuck here since long time it’s NOW 12:18 am it’s FRIDAY NOVEMBER 27. I still didn’t figure it out PLEASE SOMEONE HELPPP!!😣😖💀😭.
Thank you mate! Great work, it really helped me. You could only explain better on which side you should pit the clip in but all in all a great tutorial!
