Wow, you made this in 2009 and its still helping all of us today. Thank you for taking time to put this video together. Honey dripping from a bagel does not make for a happy Down Arrow. I watched another video on removing and cleaning but could not get the darn thing back on. I then saw your video and WOW, saved me a LOT of hassle and added expense. After a couple of tries, I got it. Thanks so much. I appreciate your help.
Thx for this, i pulled my key off out of curiosity and wind up pulling some of the white brackets out of place unlike the other keys i had previously taken off. I didn't realise until, after an hour of frustration, i realised the two brackets attached to each other and snapped together making it WAY easier. Cheers mate
This video saved me, after my two year old pried my spacebar AND the little plastic brackets up. Thank you so much! 5 star rating! You did what 6 other videos could not.
Awesome video, helped me a ton. After dropping a piece of AV equipment on my keyboard I spent ten minutes trying to fiddle with the brackets, which had come apart and fallen off the keyboard. You're a lifesaver, man.
The frame to my glasses broke, fell onto the keyboard, and the "B" popped off. After spending about 45 minutes on the Apple site, and finding out My MacBook was about 5 weeks out of warranty, I did a Google search that led me to your video. After following your directions, I was able to replace the "B." I guessing you saved me about $150.00. Can't thank you enough!
Thank you! One of my keys got really sticky and when I pulled it off the plastic part came out too. Grrr. I was glad to find the video to put it back together. It was much easier than it looked on the video, but I don't think I could have done it with one hand.
Man, this might sound dumb, but i couldnt figure out how to put the two plastic pieces back together and i was afraid not to break them, so you helped me immensely, thank you!
I broke my 't' key off over 2 weeks ago and I've just been pressing the little rubber thing this whole time cause I spent 2 hours trying to get those dang plastic things back on! Broke another key today and it was just my last straw. I'm going to try this now. Thank you!
this is the most helpful video i seen yet...and i dont even have a macbook i have a netbook n145 and the plastic bracket broke i still cant fix it but watching this video helped me find what was broken
thank you so much!!! i finally fixed 2 keys that i couldn't get back on! all the other videos i watched didn't address the bracket problem!! :) thanks!
i just used it for help on my arrow key that i have been trying for a week to fix. my laptop is only a couple years old - thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank You So Much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was sooooooo scared cause one of the keys on my mac book came off and i tried watching lots of videos and they were all junk this one helped me and i got it back on!!!
thanks! shame i didnt find this last year. i pulled up two keys because the poor design meant dirt kept getting under the gaps of my acer aspire 5735, and when i pulled them up, i broke a bit og the plastic and ended up losing the 2 keys :( but, i just found this and managed to get my 'i' key working again after it got a bit of crap under it so thanks!
I had the same problem. I ended up leaving that long metal bracken only half-way clicked into place. Took a couple tries, it was the most annoying of the keys.
I used a pair of locking forceps ( www.wpiinc.com/products/laboratory-supplies/501288-kelly-forceps/ ) to stretch the outer frame wide enough so that the pins slipped into the holes. After some thought about it, I figured it'd be safer to bend the entire thing, then try to bend the little pins. I inserted the end of the forceps inside the frame then opened them until the inner frame fell into place. 2 hands and a magnifying glass is helpful. Also, make sure to use only as much pressure as it takes. It's easy with such small things to use too much force. I broke one of the pins on the outer frame while removing it from the keyboard, luckily, I have several keyboards laying around for spare parts.
I used my teeth to be honest. There was junk between my keys and when i popped it off one metal bracket came undone and i had to take the entire thing off so i putt the two white plastic pieces together and pushed with my teeth. I wouldn't recommend this method because i don't know if i just got lucky but that is how i did it.
Oh my god, thank you so much, you just saved my life!!! Or rather the K key on my laptop xD Either way, without you, I'd never figured out how to put it back in so... thank you, thank you, thank you!
I had accidentally took the plastic off from under the keys on my school computer and I've been so confused and took another key off to see what I was doing wrong I had to flip it 🤦♂️ well glad my keys are fixed lol
I had to snap the bracket to my key first. Little posts slid under clips on the key to hold the bracket on. Then it easily snapped to the Logitech key board on my iPad.
thank you sooooooooooooo much my parents would have killed me if i had broke it all the way so thank you and the A key was the on the broke so as you can see it works... :) thanks
I just had this happen last night one of my keys (still is coming up at this point and having to reattach it to even type now), and I looked at this video and some others and ended up figuring how to put everything back on thinking that everything is fixed and the key-cap and the retainer cap are both coming off stuck together, I'm just wondering is something broken where it just won't go back on anymore or what? Cause, even when I put the retainer cap on it feels very flimsy and not sure if that's suppose to "snap" back in.
so , those little squishy cups underneath key how do you fix those, daughter shoved a paperclip to clean underneath hers , ripped the little squishy rubber cup off
Just a random comment that let you know you're still helping people in 2022 with this video. Thanks so so so much!

Thank you so much. Our puppy took a flying leap onto my keyboard and these three little pieces went flying!! Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you
Thank you so much! Great video. Was so frustrated before I found your video.
thank you so much!!! i finally fixed 2 keys that i couldn't get back on! all the other videos i watched didn't address the bracket problem!! :) thanks!
Another good technique is to fit the plastic piece on the key itself, then rolling it until it fits into place. Worked for me, HP envy.
I`ll give this a try
Seriously, thank you so much for explaining everything so clearly and taking the time to make this video.
i just used it for help on my arrow key that i have been trying for a week to fix. my laptop is only a couple years old - thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

can someone make a vid on how to put the two bracket parts together
I used a pair of locking forceps ( www.wpiinc.com/products/laboratory-supplies/501288-kelly-forceps/ ) to stretch the outer frame wide enough so that the pins slipped into the holes. After some thought about it, I figured it'd be safer to bend the entire thing, then try to bend the little pins.

I used my teeth to be honest. There was junk between my keys and when i popped it off one metal bracket came undone and i had to take the entire thing off so i putt the two white plastic pieces together and pushed with my teeth. I wouldn't recommend this method because i don't know if i just got lucky but that is how i did it.
yeah pls
@@ayabazzi3935 you could just take a key you dont use that much and take the brackets from there

This video was very helpful. :D

@Eviesee645 When my key fell off, the bracket fell apart. It took me forever to get the bracket pieces back together to sit flat properly.
YES! You've saved my laptop
Thanks Spike DeClue and for the people who think this is crap your wrong

I thought i needed a whole new board but a good cleaning worked wonders - what is the diff between AC01 and AC05?
i think i broke the prongs on one of my plastic pieces on accident when i was attempting to fix my 'w'. should i buy a new piece?
i broke that thing and made my shift key soo good to press now i wont press caps lock instead of shift :)
I had to snap the bracket to my key first. Little posts slid under clips on the key to hold the bracket on. Then it easily snapped to the Logitech key board on my iPad.

I just had this happen last night one of my keys (still is coming up at this point and having to reattach it to even type now), and I looked at this video and some others and ended up figuring how to put everything back on thinking that everything is fixed and the key-cap and the retainer cap are both coming off stuck together, I'm just wondering is something broken where it just won't go back on anymore or what? Cause, even when I put the retainer cap on it feels very flimsy and not sure if that's suppose to "snap" back in.
