My enter key (the larger one) popped off and I have no clue as how to put it back on! Is there a diagram or some kind of step by step guide explaining how to put it back on? I don't think anything is damaged, it just sort of popped off. If anyone could post up a step-by-step guide, that would be VERY HELPFUL. It's really annoying not having an enter button!



Thanks.

Well now I know why it wont stay put. The white "webbing" portion of the enter key on the third pic, is missing this VERY VERY tiny portion, that helps it stay connected to the keyboard. Does apple sell replacement parts such as this? I hope so, because it definitely would not be worth it to order an entire new keyboard just for this.

Not having an enter key makes everything feel so dysfunctional. I cant type with out this enter key! Everything on the right side feels so awkward to type.

Go to an Apple Store -- they usually will replace the key for free or a small fee, in-store.

Ooh ok. Thanks Screech!

It's a shame that I need to write 2 papers for my classes this week, but I'll have to stop by an Apple store after my finals.
