Ordering the parts for my wife’s Toshiba shortly. It has been an excellent machine but the keyboard keys have worn off. Seems like a very straight forward process. The question that I have is what do I use to hold the keyboard back in place?
Thanks for the directions. George

Only one key gets off the keyboard (down cursor) I’ve got the key and the rounded rubber that fits into the mechanism, most of the time it works but when I press continusly it gets off.
Is there a way to fix it without changing the whole keyboard?
