Hey Guys,

I have had some trouble with water on my keyboard, so I’ve had to remove a few keys. Now, it’s nearly impossible to assemble them again. Have a look at my attached picture.

Could you please help me to put them back into previous position without breaking these small white brackets?

As an identical bracket is still in place you can see how the dislodged one should look.  If you can’t jam it back into place you may have to content yourself with attaching the key the the lone remaining bracket.  I don’t think you can detach the main plates of the keyboard.  Even if you could, you’d have a major mess on your hands.

It’s been a while since I did this, but IF memory serves me right, the white bit is a “M” shape, where the bottom of the two legs clip into the board and the two upper points attach to the key itself. Squeeze (gently!) the two legs together to get them into the brackets of the board, and then simply push the key straight down onto the pair of white “M"s until it clicks.

I’ve attached a dusty and slightly blurred pic from the Vaio SZ keyboard - it doesn’t have the metal bit covering the connectors so you can see it (kinda).

I used a nail file lifting up the dark gray frame. Everything is fine now.
Thanks for your efforts!
