@@PomThaBunnyh If your Key Cap is not clicking down in place correctly, it is most likely due to the Retainer Clip not being properly installed or damaged. Remove the Cap and inspect for damage or that its not laying down flush and properly snapped in itself. Compare to another Clip if needed by removing another Cap.
@@PC_Monkey no need anymore lol, my brother came in and was a life saver bc he managed to fix it, also ur vid was great, the underneath of some keyboards were rlly dirty so being able to finally remove the dirt was nice 👍
For all the people who dont know why its not fallin there, you have to put the 2 plastic peaces together by sliding the little one into the bigger one first and make a 1 plastic piece of the 2...Thank you very much for your help man too you helped me allot.

My clip came apart and cant seem to get it back together. Doesnt seem broken.Just operator error lol Any videos on how to reconnect the two parts if white plastic clip? Thanks so much !!
god bless you man, I repaired 4 or 5 of my keys with your help and saved a lot of money I would've otherwise spent on overpriced repairs! Love from Turkey :)
If you have a retainer clip that came apart, it's fixable! I figured I'd add this process here in case it helps someone. I'm not sure if the orientation of the pieces matters but I'll be as specific as possible since it worked for me. I have a Dell laptop, I'm pretty sure it's the same one in this video, so it should work. There's 2 pieces, the big one and the small one. Make sure to locate the holes on the inside of the big piece, and the pegs on the sides of the small piece. If you have an assembled retainer clip on hand, it might be helpful to use it as reference. Step 1: With the big piece, find the wider end. It's sort of in a wavy shape with 3 "bumps," place it flat on the table with the 1 bump up. Step 2: With the small piece, find the end with the wider square holes. That end will be over the wavy end of the big piece. Step 3: Slot the left peg on the small piece into the left hole in the big piece. Step 4: Use a finger to hold that side in place. The right peg should be resting above the right hole, not in yet. Step 5: Using a fine hook/pick tool, carefully hook it on the plastic beside the right hole. Then GENTLY pull it outwards, (if you pull too hard/far it will snap). The plastic will bend just enough to give space for the peg to slot into the hole. Step 6: They should now be slotted together. You can use your finger to test and make sure the pieces move like a hinge. Step 7: From here on you can proceed to reconnect it to the keyboard like he did in the video. I hope this is helpful, I tried to use the best wording I could for it to make sense ^^
haven’t had a lot of victories lately, but finally getting my 2, w, x, & s buttons to work really makes up for it. It really is the little things. Thank you!

Oh Thank you so much . I broke my arrow key and I was really really scared to tell my mom . Even though I tried so much I was fail. This video really helped me out a lot . Thank you so much
This is very helpful. The butterfly white plastic spring gets stuck in the keys and has to be removed and seated in the retainer clip to fix. Brilliant.

Great way of explaining this. A lot of laptop owners don’t know that a key can be usually can be snapped back on as long as the retainer clip is on the keyboard and not attached to the key. If it’s attached to the key and you try to push back on then you can break the retainer clip.
@@FailedAtNNN Because they key can usually not be reinstalled with the Retainer Clip and the Key Cap still attached to each other, you would have to separate them as seen here, using a small flat pry tool.

I know this is an old vid. But still relevant, was having trouble with my w key from gaming and this sorted it. Only removed the key, cleaned all the crap out behind and clicked into place, seems the key wasn't seating on the clip correctly, maybe the gunk behind it caused this thanks a bunch.
Thank you for this video, my computer was acting so slow, not realizing that my windows key was half falling off. I thought I was going to have to reformat, but then I realized it when looking down. After I took the key off, my laptop stopped acting slow, but then I was like, crap, how do I get this back on. luckily it didn't get damaged when I took it off before I watched this video, but it went back down and all is working. Thank you again!
Holy crap I got it in. I was ready to chuck this key across the room. I have a lot of patience but this was getting to me. Looking at it through a lupe definitely helped me. Thanks for the guidance. You rock!
So nice of you, it was this video that helped me put the button back on to my Inspiron 15 7572, else the guide was nowhere to be found and the service centre is far away
@@felipelexow8301 i left it un-attended for like 2 seconds and it melted all over my keyboard lol (i put it on a shelf above my computer which was a mistake on my part)
Tip to others (for keys "O" "Z" "X" "I" "N" "S" - these look identical when upside down) - On the back of the key there are 4 tiny clips. The lower part of the key has the 2 clips that are farther apart. I was worried I'd break the white clip if I had it upside down and pressed it into place. The good news is that it just won't snap if upside down.
@@PC_Monkey Actually, I've managed to snap it on, but it keeps falling off again. I'm going to try replacing the white clip - maybe it's attachment points are worn/broken...
Thank you so much! I was struggling with a key for a while that wouldn't reattach. This clip was perfect to get it back on safely and efficiently. Thank you!!!
secont comment: just done it! turned it around (like you) 🙂and this time, "just clicked nicely" in. thanks for your help, my Laptop looks new again. No more clearing breadcrumbs with my nail!
Fabulous! It works!😀 In my case, the retainer clip had gotten detached from the bottom. It went off with the key. Then I removed from the key using a screwdriver (similar to video). Then I managed to re-attach it to the bottom (as in the video, perhaps by slightly pushing the metal hooks back, since they appear to have bent down under pressure). And then the key cap went back on. So happy!
@@tommycesa1882 They fit together with a small plastic pin on the left and right of the inner clip. These fit into holes on the outer clip. To see exactly how the inner clip sits in the outer clip, remove another key cap and copy the clip under it.
Thank you so much man the video helped me a lot. Actually something was stuck under my ctrl key I removed the key but somehow the retainer clip came out along with key & on top of that the retainer clip also got separated in two parts. But when you said 1:23 I thought I broke it, but fortunately it wasn't, it just got separate somehow I managed to insert the ends of clip into each other. Finally, the key got placed properly over keyboard. I will never ever remove any key hereinafter and those fucking retainers are so delicate to handle it took around half an hour to attach them.

thankyou so much for sharing this video, i was really confused what to do about the keys and i kid you not after watching this video, it hardly took me couple of minutes to fix my keys.
I accidentally took mine off- I’m so glad I didn’t break it. Edit: I did break something, it was the little hook. Luckily I got it back into place but I’ll admit, it scared me lmao
Thank you so much! this was so helpful I am a gamer the a and d keys are very important to me and they fell of watching your video I understood how to attach them back You earned a like!
This video shows how to fix keys that mechanically need to be fixed. If you have that many keys not working, it could be that your keyboard is bad and needs to be replaced if they all feel like they are working normally
The viedo is 3 years old but worked perfect to my keyboard i needed to watch you viedo before i tried it on my own i only say. On my own the O and P breaked and after the viedo i did the rest of the keys perfectly without breaking anything. Ty you for this viedo it helped me alot
If you ever wonder why your video suddenly has a lot of watchtime, that's bcz I was following these instructions while watching the video to repair my "J" key and once I got it back in place I spammed it so I can make sure it works, and coincidentally that's the key which takes you back 10 seconds so uhhh, yeah you now have lots of watchtime, anyways thanks for helping me repair the "J" key. I actually broke the "T" key a few months ago and I fixed it myself without RUclips and I kind of forgot how I did it so I ended up here lol.
Hey Man, thank you very much for the tutorial, it does really help. My office laptop left ctrl key suddenly stop working sometimes, tried reinstalling keyboard driver but not works. I followed your tutorial then found few hairs under the key & that "white thing", I cleaned it with toothpick & cotton bud. Now the left ctrl key works again, no more pain to copy & paste heheh. Cheers!

Fabulous! It works!😀 In my case, the retainer clip had gotten detached from the bottom. It went off with the key. Then I removed from the key using a screwdriver (similar to video). Then I managed to re-attach it to the bottom (as in the video, perhaps by slightly pushing the metal hooks back, since they appear to have bent down under pressure). And then the key cap went back on. So happy!

@@PC_Monkey What if the two plastic components separate? I can't stick them back together
@@tommycesa1882 They fit together with a small plastic pin on the left and right of the inner clip. These fit into holes on the outer clip. To see exactly how the inner clip sits in the outer clip, remove another key cap and copy the clip under it.
Thank you. The video is very helpful: not too long and straight to the point.
Great to hear !! Always here to help :):)
This was really helpful. Had a crooked key top and this helped me pop it off and reattach it straight. Thank you!

Thank you so much man the video helped me a lot. Actually something was stuck under my ctrl key I removed the key but somehow the retainer clip came out along with key & on top of that the retainer clip also got separated in two parts. But when you said 1:23 I thought I broke it, but fortunately it wasn't, it just got separate somehow I managed to insert the ends of clip into each other. Finally, the key got placed properly over keyboard. I will never ever remove any key hereinafter and those fucking retainers are so delicate to handle it took around half an hour to attach them.
They are sooooo breakable lol
Well done :)

@Alexander Stasevich If your Key Cap is not clicking down in place correctly, it is most likely due to the Retainer Clip not being properly installed or damaged. Remove the Cap and inspect for damage or that its not laying down flush and properly snapped in itself. Compare to another Clip if needed by removing another Cap.
HOW DID U PUT THEM BACK TOGETHOR
@Alexander Stasevich thx :)

Thank you for this! Finally my ctrl is working~ but there are still 5 buttons thats not working ;-;
This video shows how to fix keys that mechanically need to be fixed. If you have that many keys not working, it could be that your keyboard is bad and needs to be replaced if they all feel like they are working normally
Saved me laptop and sanity with this video!!!

I was looking for this and the same computer popped up
If you ever wonder why your video suddenly has a lot of watchtime, that's bcz I was following these instructions while watching the video to repair my "J" key and once I got it back in place I spammed it so I can make sure it works, and coincidentally that's the key which takes you back 10 seconds so uhhh, yeah you now have lots of watchtime, anyways thanks for helping me repair the "J" key. I actually broke the "T" key a few months ago and I fixed it myself without RUclips and I kind of forgot how I did it so I ended up here lol.
