    • Carefully remove the broken key(s). Use the flat end of the spudger to gently pop the key off.

    • When removing the key(s) be very cautious not to remove the white plastic pieces underneath with it.

    • When reinstalling key, no spudger is needed. Just pop it into place with fingers.

    • Using the flat end of the spudger, very carefully lift up the corners of the white plastic piece. Do not disconnect the two.

    • With the help of tweezers (needle nose works best), pull the connected plastic pieces out.

    • If the two plastic pieces come apart refer to the last picture, showing the orientation in which they should be connected.

    • For reinstallation of the plastic piece use tweezers to put it back in place and pop the bottom half in before the top.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

This is only for the key caps, what about the keyboard itself?

Rick Montoya -

I agree the video is mislabeled. You are not replacing the board just keys.

Please create a tutorial for keys with stabilizer like space bar and enter keys.
