Jelly fell off Macbook keyboard?

So about a year ago my V key just fell off and the hinge was broken so I couldn't put it back on. So then I just used it without the cover and just had that little jelly thing....the squisy knob.
Now THAT fell off.
I can still push the V key but it's harder and takes about 3 tries.
What can I do about this?
PLEASE HELP!

Hi
I'm very sure that if bought the MBA from Apple oran Apple Retailer you would get pretty quick satisfaction.  I know both my lcal Apple Retailer and the downtown Apple store would provide me a new MBA right away.
I'd go back to teh folks that sold it to you as a starter.

  • Macbook Pro letter fell off keyboard

    I have a Macbook Pro and one letter fell off my keyboard. How do you put the letter back onto the keyboard?

    I'd take it to my local Apple Store and have them do it. Never had a key fall off myself, but you should still be under warranty if it's a late 2011.
    Good luck,

  • Replace a key that fell off keyboard

    Hi There,
    I can't seem to put back a key that fell off the keyboard of my daughter's graphite ibook. It doesn't seem broken but I wondered if there was a trick that I'm missing.
    Thanks

    Sometimes these keys can be tricky to get back on. What you should be able to do is place the key exactly where it should go and then press down on it and it should snap into place without you even having to do anything. Unfortunately this doesn't always work, but with some attempts to get it back on you should usually get it.
    Sorry If I couldn't be of that much assistance.

  • Key just fell off keyboard

    The D key just fell off my keyboard. I can use D but have to carefully press the little knob. The key cover (?) is completely off. How do I replace it? I tried pressing down on the key cover in the hole it left. That didn't work. No Apple store within 100 miles, so can't take it in. Please help.

    It's a very delicate process but once you figure it out, it's very easy afterwards. Tweezers also comes in handy too.
    Did the two latch pieces come off with the key? You will have to take them off and put them back on first. Hopefully the little tabs didn't break which keeps them attached to the keyboard.
    To see how how they go back on is easier visually then describing so remove any key next to it by taking the tweezers and prying just the key from the top. That way you will leave the 2 pieces underneath in tact. Once you get those attached, just center the key up and press down until it snaps.

  • Key fell off

    My letter "t" key fell off the keyboard. How exactly do I get i back on?

    Hi gerry --
    This Kbase article explains (and shows) how to replace the keys (called "key caps") on the keyboard of a PB G4. You should know, however, that it can be a little tricky, not complicated, just a little tricky to do it correctly. So, if you're near a friendly AASP or an Apple Store, you might try to bring it in there and see if you might prevail upon them to do it for you. Someone who knows how to do it from experience and has done it before, can make quick work of it for sure.
    Good luck.

  • Macbook Pro Down Arrow key fell off.

    Macbook Pro Down Arrow key fell off. Any DIY, or does it have to go to the store? I'm fairly certain the local MacAuthority has a fix, but i'd like to get it done now. I saw a 30 minute long youtube video about it, but he doesn't mention the arrow keys. The only thing similar is the small function keys. And I don't think it's the same mechanism.

    Hello brooklinekilla,
    I would be concerned too the up arrow key on my keyboard was not working.  I found an article that can assist with further isolating and troubleshooting issues with the built in keyboard.  I recommend following the steps under the section titled, "Some keys don't work as expected" in the following article:
    One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond

  • My macbook fell off the couch and now everything on the display is double and slightly transparent. Is there a fix for this other than getting it replaced?

    My macbook fell off the couch and now everything on the display is double and slightly transparent. Is there a fix for this other than getting it replaced?

    Only an Apple Store or an authorized Apple Service Provider can determine if a repair is economically justifiable. It may be as simple as a dislodged display cable.

  • My Volume Up (F12) Key fell off of my keyboard and I don't know what to do.

    I accidentally fell asleep while i was on my macbook pro and when i woke up my key fell off, I don't know how to fix it and i've tried forcing it back in but that doesn't work at all, Help?

    phineasfromla,
    if your keycap doesn’t reättach, then it might have lost a bit of the plastic tab that keeps it secured on the key mechanism. If that’s the case, then you’ll need to hunt around on online auction sites for a replacement F12 keycap, since Apple doesn’t sell replacement keycaps separately.

  • A key on my key board fell off. What do I do?

    I was cleaning my keyboard today and the H key fell off. I managed to get it back on but now it is really stiff and you have to use some serious force to get it to work. When I take it off again it works fine without the key attached.
    I got my MBP in 2008 so my apple care is long gone and I live in a city without an apple store. Would I be able to take it to a computer repair shop to get it fixed? Is it even fixable?
    Thanks!

    Hi tonia,
    One or more of these sites should help you do it yourself:

  • Left Shift Key fell off

    Hi guys, I don't know if this is such a weird issue but about two weeks or so ago, my left shift key fell off. I knew I couldn't snap it back on since one of the mini white clips on the upper side (back portion) of the key is missing.
    Right now, I can put it back on the keyboard but it wiggles as I know it doesn't fit securely as it used to be. I wish I could take a photo of it and post it on here.
    This should be covered by the generic 1-yr battery, right?
    Message was edited by: ricpacs

    1-yr battery or warranty? The falling apart of keys may or may not be covered. There are various things that can happen to keyboards which are controllable by Apple, and the user. I would call AppleCare if you believe you didn't do anything that might damage the computer. A list of things that could include:
    1. Food
    2. Water
    3. Drink
    4. Walking by door jams without making sure the machine is inside a well padded notebook bag.
    5. Not paying attention to situations where the computer apparently overheats and shuts down on its own. Making sure that the machine has its display turn off when the lid is closed, and making sure that the battery is replaced if it is under the exchange program.

  • MY MACBOOK KEYBOARD ONLY TYPES IN CAPITAL LETTERS

    my macbook keyboard only types in capial letters

    And you posted here with a different computer?
    ...If not, does the Caps shift around by itself?
    Are you using an external keyboard at the same time
    and if so, was the Shift key locked on it? You can
    choose to set Keyboard settings to ignore input from
    the internal keyboard or trackpad, not sure on external.
    {Or have you posted with a USB external keyboard?}
    I'm presuming the issue is not as obvious as the lighted
    'Caps Lock key' that shifts this function on/off. There
    may be something sticking in the MacBook keyboard
    or perhaps it has some kind of defect issue going on.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Macbook keyboard keys "pitched" normal?

    I have one of the early early unibody Macbooks. I have noticed that my keys are "pitched" to one side. It seems the splines underneath have too much tension. So, they are not really flat. My 8 key also spontaneously popped off. I was accused of catching it with my sleeve and pulling it off.
    Has anyone else noticed this about their new Macbook keyboard? I have looked at 3 others and they dont seem to have the problem. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't too picky before I make a ruckus about this. Am I just in inquiring about this?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    i think it is not normal that the keys are pitched (I guess, you mean "tilted"?). And it's certainly not normal that any key pops off. I would check with the dealer about it.
    Whatever you do, stay calm and friendly. The person with whom you'll speak is not the guy who made the fault in the fabrication, and he will be willing to help, since a happy customer comes back.
    Success! Thomas
