A dumb, simple question.  My small dog managed to pop my "page up" key
off the keyboard by walking on it (don't ask).  I can see exactly how it
needs to go back on, but can't get it to work.  Has anyone had any luck
with this, and can you give me tips?  Tools that'll help?

Thanks, Melanie

Maybe the dog can put it back on for you :-)

Just keep at it. It can take a very long time. And be sure you have it right
or you can take much time for nothing. Did the key come off or the whole
scissors-like thing under it? If the whole thing then it is a major PITA. One
time I became so uncertain I actually had it the wrong way I carefully popped
off another (just the key itself) to see how the stuff under it to see how it
should be.

yes you can get them back on if the levers are still there- is v
fiddly, trial and error. I've done it a few times on windows laptops

Thanks -- guess I'll just have to keep trying.  Good to know it isn't
impossible.

If you go by an Apple Store, they should be willing to pop it on for
you.
