Plastic fell off

Today I opened my MacBook discovering the plastic fell off the area around the display. It works fine. I tried putting the plastic on. It stayed on until I closed and opened my laptop. Why is this happening. The glue could have not given out already, can it? It is one year old.

Is your computer hot often and do you use 3rd party software to keep the computer on then you shut the lid? Because the glue may have melted somewhat. This shouldn't happen. If you have the extended warranty, send it back or if the warranty is up, take it to a shop and see if they can do anything.

#3 key fell off

I dropped a book and it pried off the #3 key. Just the silver key fell off, the white hinge is still there and all the plastic things on the back of the key are still there. Any suggestions on how to put it 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.

Little memory fastener fell off

Hello,
While installing another memory module, I might have inserted the dimm too hard and the plastic fastener fell off and I fear its somewhere on the bottom of the case. Is the plastic fastener really needed, because once I installed the memory, it is locked in place. The other fastener is secured however.
Should I run the apple hardware test just to make sure?

Tom, you seem to be pretty knowledgable about the G5 Quad. Tell me if its advisable to do the following:
Remember my G4 MDD dual 1.25? Well, I took the pci slot fan out of it and inserted it into the PCIe slot(the fan card doesn't connect to the slot), so that the hot air can be moved out of the case. Then I took a small fan that I originally had underneath the MDD's front drive cage and mounted it near the video card. The Nvidia 6600 GPU before the slot fan and small fan was hot to the touch, and the degrees were 160F. Now, its at a low 125F.
Even though there is a plastic protective air deflector shield inside, will I cause any harm by adding the PCI Slot fan and the smaller fan pointed in the direction towards outside the case? It seems that these two fans aren't causing any problems with my liquid cooling though.

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.

I have an Imac that is a year and a half old and the front of it just fell off and it wont work now. Has this ever happened to anyone?

If you have Apple care and the problem occured without misuse on your part ... it can be replaced without charge.

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
macbook pro, imac, ibook Mac OS X (10.3.9)

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.

My whole screen fell off my ipad! how much money will this cost?

My screen was very shattered, so I got it fixed can the people who did it (not at apple) did a very crappy job. I could see though the camera and it glitch so it would face time people and go on random apps. It cracked again. Then the screen was slipping off, and eventually fell off completely. I need this fix asap, could someone tell me how much it cost?

Hi Because you used a 3rd party to repair Apple will not help you You need to buy a new ipad. Cheers Brian

The screen on my iphone 4 has completely shattered after it fell off my bedside table? i am very careful with my phone and have rarely dropped it, never onto concrete or such and never from very high. thanks x

Take it to Apple and pay the Out of Warranty replacement price. In the US that is $149 for the iPhone 4.

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?

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.

N97 unlock button fell off

Same thing happened to me 2 weeks ago (phone around 5 months old), sent in the phone for repair via my service provider and was advised that the repair failed there quality check and they gave me a new handset

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:

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.
