The right apple key popped off of my PB keyboard. Are there any tricks to getting it back on? Do I have to replace my whole keyboard?

Thanks,

-B

Hmm, I'm not sure. Try Calling Apple if your PB is under AppleCare or under 1 year old.

You should be able to get it back on by rolling it around somewhat diagonally on the spot where it used to be. This has worked in the popped-off-key cases I've heard of.

If nothing broke, you can put clip in back on. There's two pieces, the key cap and the scissor underneath. If the scissor came off, you need to align it correctly against the keyboard underneath and then clip it in. If the keycap popped off, you can just snap it onto the top of the scissor.
