I took a key off my PowerBoook keyboard in order to clean under it. The three pieces are intact (the key, and two white little bracket-type things). I searched the forums and couldn't find anything. Would greatly appreciate some help. Thanks.

As Far as I know, just place the key on the keyboard, and press firmly down, and it should snap into place.

Tried that yet?

I would not be surprised if that was indeed the case, but I'm not sure how to place the two white-ish brackets before doing so. Thanks...

Nevermind, got it fixed! Just took a while to figure out how the mechanism worked. Thanks anyway.
