Does anyone have anything more specific to the Inspiron 1525? The guide husky posted is a good guide but the whole just press down on the key once the connectors/retainers are attached thing just doesn't really work with the 1525's connectors, in addition to the pieces pictured being just different enough from the 1525 to matter.
Edit: Ugh, never mind, finally got it through a lot of trial and error of which piece went first and which orientation.
there are plenty of retailers selling replacement laptop keys, you do not have to buy a new keyboard. A key can be purchased for $4-5 on ebay or you can use laptop-key.com i have used them plenty of times saving my clients plenty of money. I hope this helps. Here is a detail key install guide they have posted just for installing keys for the Dell Studio 1525.
An update, I'll get to those laptop key install guides you guys are requesting, and we have a new sponser ReplacementLaptopKeys.com, great source, and all keys are just $5 each, so please support them, thank you.

If the mount is broken, though you'll need to replace the keyboard with a new one.
