Any keyboard is a rather delicate and sensitive device. And it is with her that all sorts of troubles most often occur - trapped particles of dirt and dust, crumbs, pet hair, ash from cigarettes and spilled liquid - all these factors often lead to keyboard breakdown. Its relatively fragile keys often do not withstand "meetings" with small children, pets or especially powerful vacuum cleaners and simply fall off. But fixing this trouble is not so difficult.

Instructions
Step 1
Examine the key and determine the position of the lock On the back of the key there are two types of mounts. These are two latches and two grooves for the "ears" of the latch. This lock secures the key cover to the keyboard. The latch consists of two parts connected by a hinge in the middle. If the retainer remains in the key, you must remove it from there. Only then can the key be reinstalled. To remove the retainer, take the key, unfasten the latch on one side of the key and pull the “antennae” of the retainer out of the grooves on the other side.
Step 2
Consider the keyboard The keyboard has three pins that hold the keys. Make sure they are not bent. If you see that the pins are deformed, gently bend them into the correct position. Do not use too much force as the pins are made of aluminum and can break.
Step 3
Put the latch back on the keyboard, to do this, place the holder under the large pin contact and, with light pressure, slide the latch onto the two small contacts.
Step 4
Take the key and insert the tabs on the latch into the grooves on the key cover. Make sure the latch snaps into the grooves and lightly press the key cover against the keyboard. When you hear a slight click, make sure the key is in place.
Step 5
Large keys, in addition to the plastic retainer, are equipped with a balancing lever, which serves to ensure even pressing. There are two additional "ears" to secure this lever on the keyboard. In order to install a large key, you must first bring the ends of the lever into the “ears”, then bring the lower “antennae” of the latch into the grooves and slightly press the button.
