Toshiba down arrow key replacement

[chey1963]

So.. without thinking of my coffee in hand while I started to scroll while reading an article this morning, I spilled some on my laptop. Just a drop went under my down arrow. So, thinking it would come off easily and I just dry it up and stick the key back on, I took it off. Yea.. now I can't get it back on. Thinking the whole key thing needs replacing. How easy is to to replace? I'm afraid of taking the clip assembly off now. The assembly isn't laying flat like the other keys do when taken off. Can hardly wait to hear what my husband says about this latest thing I've done... lol

If you check ebay you should be able to find the part you need if the clip is broken.

If the key use 2 interlocking plastic bits, they may be just stuck in the up position, it's easy to click them back down then click they key on top again.

Thanks guys. Got it replaced through the replacementlaptopkeys as suggested. Ordered it on Tuesday, received it Saturday.
My husband's response was exactly what I thought. Anything with push buttons... I still owe him a calculator that was over $100.. lol

Bookmarked this site so I can always refer it to others. ... or myself again I'm usually reluctant to use any site unheard of without seeing others mentioning it. In this case, I felt confident to use it. Thanks again!
