Any idea how to get it back on there? There is one black piece which can come off completely. Then there is one black piece that is inserted into the keyboard itself. Then there is the key. I can snap the bottom part of the keyboard onto the removable plastic piece but I can't snap the top. How is this achieved?

I believe I replace mine by holding the key directly over it's place on the keyboard and pressing down hard. If everything underneath is OK it should pop into place.

A bit of superglue? If it broke off that would be one thing I would consider, however if it just popped of then rforum has the right idea. Did the key have anything bent on it?

The only ones I have seen involve something like a criss-cross plastic link that must be set correctly before applying the key and light pressure.
