Help Laptop key + Superglue?

[Vladamir]

Typing away as i was this morning, my H key has pinged off. Although i've still got the key and the two retainer clip bits, part of one of them has a little bit missing and so i can't put the key back together.

I've looked all over for a replacement but nowhere seems to have the right parts. If i use a bit of superglue to put the key back onto the little rubber bit, am i likely to fuck it up further, or should i just resign myself to a life without a proper H key?

You could, but don't be stupid and press the button while it's drying

People usually don't f*ck up things, well, if they don't f*ck it up

I'd use model-glue though, just to be sure.

Is it still under warranty if so get them to replace the keyboard. I doubt you will find replacement keys on their own you may be able to find a replacement keyboard if not check ebay for a spare or repairs model and steal the keyboard. But using glue to hold the key there should be fine but make sure your super glue does not eat rubber first

My words … Apple sends replacement keys for free if you ask nicely =)

Everything can be fix'd with a hammer and duct tape Vlad! If this doesn't work, use a bigger hammer and more duct tape!

The same thing happened to me but with the C key. Just takes some extra effort to press it.
