What if a key on the keyboard of my laptop gets removed by my bummer lil' brother? - smart_chiq - 11-18-2012 01:04 PM

One day, I am checking my Twitter account in my laptop, my little brother began bumming me for a kiddie reason. Then I got pestered that I began suggesting my sisters for his problem. He got pestered too and knocked the keyboard and struck the 'page up' button. The button then gets removed. My problem is, is there a way I can get the key to its normal position in just 4 hours?

It depends, but normally if the plastic on the back of the key is not broken, you should be able to just stick it back in its place. Put it in its position and gently press it until it clicks. Just be careful not to break it.

Edit: I also found a couple of video tutorials for replacing laptop keys:

Hope it helps.
