FAQ's:
Q: The Hinge Clip came apart in two :(
A: You can see how to reassemble it in this video at 5:49

Q: Where can I purchase replacement keys?
A: If the key assembly is not installing correctly, its either due to a component being damaged and needing to be replaced or a component not being orientated correctly. I would remove the key assembly and check for damage. If damage is found, replace the assembly. If no damage is found or you are unsure, try to install again. For help with the orientation, I sometimes remove another key cap, and compare the hinge clip to the one I'm trying to install. If you cant install after several tries, the key assembly is most likely damaged and needs to be replaced.

Q: My Key Cap will not click down in place correctly. What's wrong?
A: If your Key Cap is not clicking down in place correctly, it is most likely due to the Retainer Clip not being properly installed or damaged. Remove the Cap and inspect for damage or that its not laying down flush and properly snapped in itself. Compare to another Clip if needed by removing another Cap.

Q: The rubber spring came off. How do I reattach it?
A: There isn't really a good way to reattach those. They are not meant to be replaced. Best advice is try to use a small amount of glue. If that does not work, you may have to replace the keyboard.

Q: The Hinge Clip is still attached to the Key Cap. What do I do?
A: Because the Key Cap and the Hinge Clip can usually not be installed while attached to each other, you will have to separate them before installing. You can do so as seen here in this video, by using a small flat pry tool.
