SO HELPFUL! I watched many tutorials but this one is the best. As others said, the explanation of the mechanism was key. While my space bar only had one metal rod (at the bottom) I was able to follow your video and finally fixed it. Thank you!!!

After checking out another video on the subject, I found this video and following along got my keys to working as good as new again. Showing how the metal clips fit onto the keyboard and the keys themselves was worth its weight in gold. Thanks.

I was having problems with the Shift key. It worked when I simply removed the metal pieces and pressed the shift key back in, but when you demonstrated how to install the metal parts, I just had to redo it the right way and it worked thanks!

@leeloominai9336 2 ай бұрын

You LITERALLY saved my day! Perfectly explained. I started off the wrong way (at the top of the key) and all the plastic parts underneath came off with it … separate! I tried to piece them together because I read somewhere that you have to assemble it crosswise. It was a nightmare. I tried multiple times and thought I broke a tiny tip off. Then I found your video and saw how it should look like when these plates are back on. And within 2 minutes it was done. It's super tight, although I really did break something small off. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I saved your video for future spills. 😉

Very impressed. This has got to be the most comprehensive and fool-proof and understandable step by step that I've watched for any how-to on KZfaq. I usually end the video with more questions than I had at the start because the demonstrator assumes too much and leaves out important details. Refreshing to see that someone has it all together. Looking forward to seeing what else this guy can show me!

omg, this was FANTASTIC. Thank you so much for making this video, so detailed and efficient. I had spilled coffee on my keyboard (first time EVER in like 25 years). I immediately turned the board off and put it upside down on some paper towels with some gentle weight on it until the next day. but the space bar was sticking when I went to use it. I used a knife to get the key off, which I know is generally a bad idea because it can slip and cause even more issues. But I took my time, and everything works beautifully now!

I haven't tried to remove it for fear of it breaking. Do you know which side the clips will be on? It doesn't look like they would be on the bottom.,

I will say that I didn't have a jewelers screwdriver so I used a combination of a fairly rigid cardboard 'tag' (like from buying new clothes, but just a bit thicker) to wedge under the space key & then used a small, flat-tipped screwdriver under that to gently wedge the space key off. Thanks!
