How can I reattach apple keyboard keys? - Apple Computers & Internet

I have rarely been able to reattach a key to the keyboard. Replacement keys cost $5, but you will still have the problem of trying to reattach. I recommend that you buy another keyboard for $17 delivered. Replacement of the keyboard is simple and fast.

If the tiny plastic hinges are still attached to the keyboard then place th W key over these hinges align it with the other keys and press down on the W key until it clicks onto these hinges.

The Apple key sends the same key code as the Windows key on the Dell keyboard. The option key on the Apple keyboard is the same as the Alt key on the Dell keyboard. The Dell keyboard may require a PS/2 interface (older models) instead of USB, and may have Print Screen, Scroll Lock and Pause/Break keys. These three additional keys are very rarely used.
Otherwise, the differences are cosmetic.

Normally the 'Windows' key located between the Ctrl and Alt keys on the lower left is compatible to the "option" key.

Indeed it does. When one of the keys on my laptop popped off I tried for hours to reattach it to no avail. Taking it to a repair clinic I was told that they couldn't reattach a single key either and that a new keyboard would have to be ordered and installed at a cost of almost half the cost of the original laptop purchase price. Fortunately, the laptop was still under warranty so the repair was made in a few days for free.

So, where does this leave you? If your computer is still covered by warranty contact Sony Customer Service. If the warranty is expired, a new USB keyboard can be purchased very inexpensively wherever computers and computer accessories are sold.

in that case Keyboard lose connection that why its happen please reattached keyboard again

On dell's website there is a step by step instructions on how to attach it back on. I had to do the same thing on mine machine. Just go to dell's site and on the search bar on how to attach the keyboard.

I had the same issue, I oredered another keyboard from E-bay and it was $20 and if you look up the installation instructions it takes 2 minutes to install.

Trying to put the keys back on will give you a heart attack!! The new keyboard that you will get allows them to snap back on with no effort.

I have to small children so I should know.

adere some super glue to the outter circle of the F key underneath and push it back into the silicon. make sure you don't keep the key pressed down while the glue dry.

The Kensington keyboard is being recognised as a PC-style keyboard, and the software has swapped the action of Apple (Command) and Alt (Option). Go to System Preferences > Keyboard and Mouse, and set the Modifier keys correctly in the Keyboard panel.
