FAQ's:
Q: My Key Cap will not click down in place correctly. What's wrong?
A: 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.
Q: Where can I purchase replacement keys?
A: I usually get my keys on eBay or www.replacementlaptopkeys.com. If you cannot find a loose key for sale, you may have to purchase a keyboard and take a key from there.
Q: I have a Key or Keys that are not working. Will this fix them?
A: This video is a tutorial on how to replace a key. If your keys are not working but are not mechanically broken, troubleshoot them as seen here; • How To Fix Troubleshoo... .
Q: The hinge clip came apart into two pieces. How can I reassemble?
A: 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.
Q: The rubber spring came off. How do I reattach it?
A: There isn't really a good way to reattach those. They are not meant to be replaced. Best advice is try to use a small amount of glue. If that does not work, you may have to replace the keyboard.

[@Tie509]

I tried removing a couple of keys to clean underneath like you showed. The plastic tabs on the back of the key caps themselves broke on both keys! Of course I can't press the key caps back in because the plastic tabs broke and there is nothing for them to lock into the key cap retainer clip with. The key cap retainer clips themselves look perfectly fine. No damage to those. What could be going wrong? It seems like my key cap tabs on the back are just extremely brittle. Have you run into that before? Should I just try replacing the key cap from another replacement keyboard and pressing them in or should I replace both the key cap and retainer clip?

[@PC_Monkey]

Yes, I would just try to replace the Caps from another keyboard. I have not run across that issue very frequently. In my experience, the Retainer Clips will break far before the clips on the Key Cap will. Yours must just be very brittle :(

[@Tie509]

@@PC_Monkey Thanks for the advice. I have used my laptop out in really cold weather before. I wonder if that made those tiny tabs on the back of the key caps extra brittle. When I tried pulling them off, they did not pop off as easily as in your video and other videos where they just seem to pop up with little force. I have a whole replacement keyboard coming in a couple of weeks. I will experiment on keys that I don't need to replace first in case I manage to break those key cap tabs too. I will see if the key caps pop off very nicely on the replacement keyboard and compare it to my stock keyboard. I have an Asus X555L. Looks nearly identical to the one you are working on.

Thanks for the vid :) I've just bought a laptop with the same type of keypad, and I needed to know if the keys are removable like in my old laptop. So now I know :) Also, the metal bar under longer keys makes them more stable, I'd say. Without the metal bar the key would bent sideways when you press on a side of the key and not right in the middle. I tried once to remove the metal bar from under the space key, and the space key was useless without the bar to support it.

[@tree3y763]

I need the black circle to clip my key back on. Where can I buy it?

[@PC_Monkey]

I usually have the best luck finding individual keys for sale on Ebay or Amazon. If you cant find the one for your model, try purchasing a keyboard instead and taking what you need from there :)

[@tree3y763]

PC Monkey No but I just need the Black clip. I have the Key. It’s just that place holder that holds it is broke. What do I call that circle ⭕️ think that holds it? I’m trying to look.

[@tree3y763]

PC Monkey I’m talking about the item u used in 3:50 of the video. I need that to put the bottom control key back in place.

[@PC_Monkey]

@@tree3y763 Thats the retainer clip. Most likely you wont find that for sale all by itself. They are sold in sets.

This video is a tutorial on how to replace a key. If your keys are not working but are not mechanically broken, troubleshoot them as seen here; kzbin.info/www/bejne/raLVlJucpcl9ldk.

[@richiie8024]

my retainer clip is under the key not on the keyboard (like yours). what do i do?

[@PC_Monkey]

It should still be the same basic design. Two plastic components fitted together and 4 metal pins near each corner to hold it down. Correct?

[@richiie8024]

PC Monkey oh, i just noticed, you already showed how to remove it! sorry for bothering

[@richiie8024]

PC Monkey but you saved my laptop!

I have asus too, my problem is that i have bios password on and my keyboard is entering a wrong letters(i use another external keyboard because of it but the external keyboard got damage too). Buying another external keyboard wont change anything because the laptop keyboard is still broken... I dont want to pay for fixing because in my country... Cant trust what people are saying or theyd just rip me off and go money making on me or theyd mess up my laptop for bigger problems. . But if i do it alone... Id probably broke it. Now i can only complain ..thank you and i hope my problem will be fixed..

[@PC_Monkey]

After getting another external keyboard, you should be able to get by the BIOS Password if you remember it. After that, replacing a keyboard is not too hard of a repair as computer repairs go. You should be able to find a reasonable cheap used one on Ebay or Amazon :)

[@dixiem2139]

I bought new keyboard but it didnt work as well. Cant press the buttons and with bios password set up...im doomed. I think the problem is the drivers? Or my laptop is just too dusty and dirty need advice thank you. 😭😭😭

[@erenyeager7528]

You can change a Qwerty Keyboard to a Azerty with this

[@derekhofstetler3998]

But the key input will be the original alphabet unless you reroute the signals.

[@srinikethsarma964]

only a letter 't' came out from my laptop keyboard , after trying he procedure the key became loose, it is now more easy to fall out, please help me model asus r558uq

[@PC_Monkey]

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_Monkeyok thanks I'll try it

[@srinikethsarma964]

sir,nothing is working, the key retainer is not fitting for any key, could you please help me where can I get a key retainer

[@PC_Monkey]

​@@srinikethsarma964 You can usually find keys on sites like Ebay or Amazon. You can also look at key supplies such as www.laptopkeys.com

What stops a key from working?

[@PC_Monkey]

Many things can stop a key from working. It depends on how your key is not working. Does the key feel like something is physically wrong with it or does it feel like its mechanically working fine?

[@seymore1532]

@@PC_Monkey seems fine to me, it's on a laptop. So in your video you demonstrate how to replace an individual key, what I'd like to know is what would cause it to stop working besides the obvious (no liquid spilt, hasn't been dropped/damaged, key depresses & returns as normal like other keys) one day the 'y' key just stopped working so for that particular key I have to use the on-screen keyboard which is annoying 😔

y is my key not comming back out

[@PC_Monkey]

If you key is not popping back up, 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.

[@expiredmilk8740]

i just freaking now don't have the ctrl key. but ok. just asking if u can buy those on the internet or something. and it's damaged. well. i'm gonna go be depressed now

[@PC_Monkey]

I usually find some loose keys for sale on Ebay, Amazon, etc. When you cant find a loose key for sale, consider buying a keyboard and just taking the keys off of there

[@frisk8927]

i dont have flat head screwdriver

[@PC_Monkey]

Then you should get one or try to use something similar :)

[@uretalz]

Fun fact: mines broken no like file it doesn work. When i try too open it it be like: No.

[@realchronal]

but i took off my key on accident TWO OF THEM and like took apart the two plastic pieces in two pieces my pc is thrashed now i hate my life

[@PC_Monkey]

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.
