E1505 "E" key replacement?
hi y'all!
well, the young grandson managed to toss a kids book, landing it on my keyboard. the "E" key popped right off. the key is not broken, the little scissor-acting things on the back of the key are not broken. i can see how it connects with the two itty-bitty pins on the key things sliding into the two itty-bitty slots in the metal bracket on the board, but for the life of me, i cant seem to get the little bugger to slide back in.
anyone have any secret tricks or tips?
thanks

hmmm,
i did renew my warranty for two more years, i assume keyboard replacement is not difficult? i've dug around in desktops for years, never a laptop.

In most cases you can not replace a key
Replace the keyboard
If it's under warranty DELL will send you a new keyboard
If not a keyboard is less than $50
