Now, press down gently until you hear
the key click into place on the left and
right sides. If it clicks into place on one
side, carefully push on the opposite side
until it clicks. If you don't have the key
perfectly aligned, wiggling the key
slightly as you press down may help.
1. If one or both of the white scissors assembly pieces are still attached to
the key cap, separate them from the key cap.
2. Now, place the two scissors pieces in front of you, so that the square
piece is on your left and the round piece is on your right as shown. Make
sure the pieces have the correct sides facing up; the square piece should
be tilted slightly towards the right, and the round piece should tilt slightly
towards the left.
3. Now, slide the round piece underneath the square
piece, and bring it up through the center of the square
piece. Halfway up, maneuver the small knobs on each
side of the round piece into the holes on each side of
the square piece, one at a time, to create the
scissoring action. When you've finished, the assembly
should look like the picture to the right.
4. Take the two joined pieces and place the
assembly into the keypad.
Look at the space where the scissors piece fits.
For most keys, the left side has two little "slider"
bars. The right side has a narrow vertical
channel.
For arrow keys, the top side has the two little
"slider" bars, and the bottom has a narrow
vertical channel.
