My laptop key popped out. - Compaq Televison & Video

You do not mention which laptop you have.

Usually you can just pop off the keys. When you pop off the key gently. Sometimes you may find foreign material underneath, which may prevent the key from working. If that is the case, just remove the junk, and pop the key back on.

restart everything(each part) individually

Do you see/feel any condensation or any dust particals? The key may have either under it. First use compressed air under key. Pop off and clean under and pop on again. Refer to http://www.wikihow.com/Pop-a-Key-Back-Onto-a-Dell-Laptop-Keyboard to do this correctly. If not fixed the keyboard may need replaced.

Set aside the key and retainer that have fallen off. If you lost the key, retainer, or both, you will have to order a replacement from the computer's manufacturer. As an alternate, you may be able to get a replacement from someone who has a non-working laptop of the same model as your own.Carefully pop off another key from your laptop. Choose one that you don't use frequently, and remove it with care so its retainer stays in the proper place. You will be using it as a model for your repair.

Note how the exposed retainer is connected to the keyboard. It will probably be connected at four separate points. This may vary, based on the make and model of your specific laptop. Study it until you feel confident replacing the retainer in the correct manner. Replace the retainer that popped off your laptop. Once you have it secured in place, pop the missing key onto it. The key should snap firmly into place onto the retainer. Replace the key cap on the retainer that you used as your model. Like the other key, it should snap firmly into place, and both keys should now be ready for use.

Laptop keyboard keys will "pop" back on just as easily as they "pop" off.

place the key over the raiser. center it and give it a push. if the raiser or key sockets are not damaged it will just pop back in. Otherwise you will need to replace the key.

you can find boards on ebay. Replacing the board over the key is usually better. Many times people selling keys charge 7-12$USD a key where the board coudl be 20-30. Personally i rather get the new board but each has their own choice

Relocate the popped-off keytop and place it back over the correct location. Press down very hard until it locks itself back on.

you can simply put the popped key from your keyboard by just aligning the strip to the bottom. if still keep popping out then have your keyboard replace if the laptop has warranty you can call the dell phone support.

Take a look at this video which also has helped me in repairing my laptop keys.

if a letter of the keypad of your laptop has been popped off, u need to request the key pad which includes the complete panel of the keys including the touch pad. You need to check your warranty and get it replaced.

Must be the CTRL key that is stuck...
