FAQ's:
Q: Where can I purchase replacement keys?
A: If the key assembly is not installing correctly, its either due to a component being damaged and needing to be replaced or a component not being orientated correctly. I would disassemble the key as seen here in this video and inspect for damage. If there is no damage, install the key. If there is damage, replace the key. Would you like help locating a key? If so, what is the brand and model for your computer?

Hey I did everything in the video but hinge clip keeps coming off when I press the bottom of my key how can I fix it?
If any component of the key assembly is broken or lost, it would have to be replaced. I usually get my keys on Ebay or www.replacementlaptopkeys.com. If you cannot find a loose key for sale, you may have to purchase a keyboard and take a key from there.
Nice vid - I had a problem with keys not registering when pressed, on a laptop I hadn’t used in a while - a real easy fix was to press and hold the key down , and gently twist the tip of a screwdriver in the cracks around the key’s edges - the friction was enough to clean the contacts, without disassembling the key - it’s a good first step to get problem keys working again!

It's hard to see the white plastic piece, you just see a white blurred thing. Should be re-recorded with an alternative orientation of the camera.
What part are you looking to see more clearly that is not understandable when looking at yours?
Just more detail. Since it is the hardest part to remove. Your movements are very quick and the footage is not very focused. I'm not able to see the exact points your applying pressure to. I'm able to remove the keys on my laptop, but not the retainer clips properly without breaking them. A video exclusively on the retainer clip would be appreciated.

I'm super happy with how thorough this is, usually I have to find like 5 different tutorials before I find my issue, but this had everything in one video! My little rubber piece came off and I was worried if gluing it would ruin it, but it seems it should be fine (hopefully gorilla glue works), if not I'll take it to a tech shop but thank you for the helpful tutorial :) (I'm hoping I can also glue my key back together since it came off by breaking in half by being used too much)

If your Key Cap is not clicking down in place correctly, it is most likely due to the Retainer Clip not being properly installed or damaged. Remove the Cap and inspect for damage or that its not laying down flush and properly snapped in itself. Compare to another Clip if needed by removing another Cap.

What if my rubber spring is not very sensitive on one key? I tried taking off the key cap, and i isolated the problem - it is the spring/rubber lid mechanism. Should i remove the butterfly clip or is it a lost cause. It does respond, but I have to press very hard.
Does the key feel like its working correctly or does it feel like there is something mechanically wrong with it?
@@PC_Monkey wow, thanks for responding. I can't find this exact problem in forums. The only one that was similar that I found suggested the spring might be corroded.
It feels normal, I guess, but it lower clips of the cap are loose. The thing is, even if I remove the hard key cap/cover, and just press the naked rubber spring cap, the behavior is the same. I have to press the bare spring cap hard too to get the key to register a press.The nerd in me would love to figure this out but I think this might be a list cause. Do you have any ideas?
Thanks again for responding! I'm so impressed. Thanks
@@hystrionic If its hard to press down, then the key assembly is not installed correctly or damaged. I would disassemble it as seen here and inspect for damaged. If needed, I would remove another key cap and compare its still install Hinge Clip to mine to make sure its installed correctly. After installing it, if its still not working properly, its most likely damaged and should b replaced.
@@PC_Monkey thanks for getting back again so soon!
I'm sorry if I wasn't clear: there's no issues pressing it. Both with and without the cap on, the rubber covered spring goes down normally. What is odd is that they character doesn't register/display unless I get a little aggressive with the pressure. It can work but only with elbow grease. I can't see anything obvious with the pressure, I think there's an issue with contact at the base inside the mechanism but I don't know enough to figure out what exactly, or if there's anything that can be done. With the cap on it feels just like the other buttons.
One thing worth noting: this is an "e" key , and before cleaning the keyboard yesterday the "7" and "c" were also not very responsive. But cleaning those two mostly fixed the issues. The "e" is being stubborn. Is there some common circuit they share? The "d", however, is completely fine.

Hey, Jamin. In 2021, I experienced this problem with my dell computer, that is, certain keys (b, f, m, and n) weren't working on my keyboard. So, I took it to a computer repair shop, and they suggested I replace the entire keyboard, but instead, he sold me a separate, independent keyboard that plugs into my computer.
Yes, an external keyboard is a good idea when troubleshooting why a keyboard is not working. Did you ever manage to get your keys to work properly? If not, do the keys feel like they are physically fine or do they feel like they have something mechanically wrong with them?
@@PC_Monkey I don't know because the computer repair guy only told me that my keyboard needed to be replaced or I had to use an external one. Nevertheless, I paid for the external keyboard that he sold me inside the shop. It is still working today. However, had I watched your video prior to 2021, I probably would not have needed to take it to the repair shop. Might I add, your videos are very helpful in guiding people in repairing their computers themselves.
@@rhondae8222 Thanks :)
exactly what im experiencing
Thanks for posting this! I have a key that fell off with the retainer clip inside of it... so the retainer clip and the key are connected and fell off. Do you have a video for how to fix this?
Because they key can usually not be reinstalled with the Retainer Clip and the Key Cap still attached to each other, you would have to separate them as seen here, using a small flat pry tool.
I have the same issue, the retainer clip is stuck to the key and i cannot get it off. Maybe it is glued. I called Dell and they want to replace the entire keyboard. I said "No way". I am thinking to glue the key to the rubber in the middle. It is the "Alt" key, I do not need to use it again in case it does not work.

One of my keycap is craked so will i be able to change that at a Dell store or am i stuck with it. Btw it does not affect typing in any major ways but it is inconvenient.
I usually get my keys on Ebay or www.replacementlaptopkeys.com. If you cannot find a loose key for sale, you may have to purchase a keyboard and take a key from there.
saved the day bro
Happy to help :) Always here if needed !!
can you contact me somewhere i need to ask you something my w key does not work and something broke
1. For free, I communicate here on YT. If you would like to set up a time and another place to chat, there would be a fee. Which would you prefer?
2. If you prefer here, what is the issue with your key? Do the keys feel like they are physically fine or do they feel like they have something mechanically wrong with them?

If any component of the key assembly is broken or lost, it would have to be replaced. I usually get my keys on Ebay or www.replacementlaptopkeys.com. If you cannot find a loose key for sale, you may have to purchase a keyboard and take a key from there.
