Good morning. Last weekend, my friend apparently managed to damage his G110 keyboard while attempting to clean beneath the keys. After inspecting the damage today, it appears that he broke off the two plastic 'hooks' beneath the space bar that are intended to hold the actual key's metal bar down when properly in place.
In this photo I have taken -
- I am guessing that there are supposed to be two plastic pieces hooking downward at right angles from the posts remaining within the blue circles. Or at least this is what an inspection of the other large-sized keys on the keyboard leads me to suspect.
Without these hooks to secure the key's metal stabilizer bar, the key sticks at crooked angles unless pressed at the approximate center of the key. I had thought to find the broken pieces and super glue them back into place, but it's been several days and my friend could not turn them up after an hour of searching.
My friend has given the keyboard up for lost and it has been passed to me to do with as I will. Being that this is a fine chance to test out a decent keyboard that I would have otherwise been hesitant to risk so much money on, I was hoping that an old hand at keyboard tinkering might have some suggestions as to some makeshift solution that I might try to give the stabilizer bar a place to connect to again.
Thank you for your time.
