Personally, I cannot use keyboard without U key but I can live without a key located on the side from the right ALT – the “Right clicker” key. Let’s see if it’s possible to temporarily fix the U key without buying any spare parts. The key cap, retainer and even silicone membrane were lost. Here’s another technique you can use to fix a broken keyboard key.Īs you see on the picture below the keyboard is missing the U key. The space bar key is installed back in place and should work as before. Put the space bar key back in place and gently press on it with fingers until it snaps back in place. You have to engage the retainer with the small hooks on the keyboard. Install the retainer back in place as it shown on the picture. Separate the retainer from the space bar key with a flat head screwdriver. There is a metal retainer connected to the space bar key (on some keyboard models). The space bar key is connected to the keyboard a little bit differently then any other key.
(Search examples: “Dell keyboard key”, “Toshiba keyboard key”, “HP keyboard key”, etc… )Īfter you found a new key, put it back in place the same way as I described in the situation 1. In this case you can purchase a single key on the internet, just search for it. The key fell off the keyboard and you lost the cap or the retainer.
Put the key cap on the retainer and snap the cap back in place. Take a closer look at the key retainer, it’s connected to the keyboard at four different points.Īssemble the disconnected retainer the same way as one on the keyboard and put it back in place. Carefully remove the cap from any other working key so the key retainer stays connected to the keyboard.
