I have a Gateway MP6954 Platinum Edition laptop. In a rush to go to the bathroom, I dropped my book on the keyboard. The "a" key fell out & I have been struggling to put it back in. How can I put my "a" key back?

Have to tried to open the unit and carefully lay the keys out on the tray before closing it??

Should be easy enough to remove the case..

Good luck :)

I can't remove the case; I do not have a screwdriver & I'm in a college dorm with three people & a carpet floor. Can I fix it without taking the case off? I know the plastic white hinge is still on the back of the key.

The membrane is in place too. I just need to put the key itself back on.

you just need to push it on. On my thinkpad the key kinda pushes and slides at an angle

Thank you so much! I tried pushing it in at a slight angle and it worked. It's a little crooked, but it works. :)

Easier than i thought!
