How to Put Keys Back on an FX P Series Laptop
Keyboards take a lot of abuse over the course of a laptop's lifetime. Between liquids being spilled, crumbs and other debris falling between the keys, jewelry getting caught and the varying degrees of force being applied to the keys, sooner or later a key or two is likely to separate from the keyboard. However, just because the key has separated, it doesn't necessarily mean that it is broken. The two main components of a laptop key are the key cap, which is the face of the key, and the retainer clip, which secures the key cap to the board.
