Help with keyboard

SirFuzzi · 11-29-2008, 02:04 AM

Hello. I'm running on the Acer Aspire 5920G (as you'll soon see) and I ran into a slight problem with my keyboard and ended up having to prop the / key off.

Bad idea, apparently, since now I'm having a grand old time trying to put it back together. I can take pictures as requested, but so far I have picture of the two parts comprising the key and a picture of the part on the back of the key itself. The quality is awful, I know, so if more pictures are needed I will gladly take them.

As far as I know, no pieces have broken off of been damaged in this process.

Thanks immensely in advance for any help given.

I tried, but unfortunately, the Acer keyboard uses a different key structure than that and none of the steps really fit together thanks to that. Thank you, no less.

Is there anyone with experience with an Acer keyboard?

The procedure would be similar as only the shapes of the parts differ. You can check out YouTube too as there are many tips on how to put the key cap back. Also you can check this out...
