How to fix laptop keyboard keys for the Asus Chromebook Flip

 

Now, to install your new Asus Chromebook Flip laptop key, begin by orientating the retainer clip in the proper direction of the keyboard. Typically, the small plastic feet on the plastic hinge will be spaced appropriately for you to determine which direction the plastic parts go in relation to the metal hooks on the keyboard base. Observe the laptop key retainer clips carefully and notice that the smoother side will always face up, additionally, the plastic feet on the laptop keyboard key retainer clip will always face downward to allow the hinge to fit into the metal hooks. Once the retainer clip is situated correctly, lock it into the metal hooks on the keyboard base, it is always easier approaching it from one direction and hooking in the plastic clip than another. If one direction does not work, try the other. Now the laptop key retainer clip will be securely attached and ready to accept the plastic key top. If the laptop key is the type with the metal supporting bars, those will need to be inserted into the matching metal hooks as the laptop key cap slides over the plastic retainer clip and before it is pressed on. Once the keyboard key is positioned squarely over the retaining clip, press down gently until you hear a distinct click on all 4 corners. This indicates that the key cap has been secured to the retainer clip correctly. Pull up on all four corners gently to ensure that this happened correctly. That's it! You have successfully completed a repair on an individual key for the Asus Chromebook Flip laptop key.
