Hi guys.. hope you can help me here..
I got a HP Pavilion DV8279 from work.. and one key "G" on the keyboard fell off!?
Its some kind of clip-on construction but its hard as hell getting it in possition. While trying i broke one of the four clip-on things on the key =(

1. Anyone know where i can find a G key to my keyboard.
2. Anyone know how to place it on this white thing? (got to be some special way to do it.. cos it was hard as hell!

Fitting the key back is a pretty simple thing. You need to lift the white tabs with a fine pliers/tweaser and slip the tabs on the key onto the white pieces. Now that one of the tabs is broken, I'm not sure how stable it will be though.

Finding a replacement key may be tricky...most places will try to get you to just replace the whole keyboard. Try ebay though. (I looked and couldn't find any)
