Unfortunately, you would need to replace the motherboard. There is no specific part number for the plastic clip. You can contact the Dell Spare Parts Department at 1-877-717-3355 or visite the website link below.

most netbooks allow the keyboard to be lifter out ,,upwards after inserting a thin piece of plastic/screwdriver at the reccommended points around the keyboard,usually there are tiny sprung clips that need to be pushed,you can hardly see them ,be carefull if you manage to lift the board out be gentle and do not tug or force it as it will be connected with a ribbon type cable to a very fragile plastic clip/socket.
Even this socket/clip will have another plastc sprung device holding the ribbon cable in so be carefull with it.
The CMOS battery is just like a watch battery held to the motherboard with a steel sprung clip,you might have to unscrew the motherboard first rarely this battery might be soldered in place so you might need to have an iron handy.

Replace the inside of the keyboard with a new piece. One of the major problems with Dell keyboards is that the plastic pieces holding the keys in place become loose or broken. You can find a cheap keyboard from Papatek.com or an electronics store. Simply take apart the new keyboard, pull the keys off your keyboard, lay the plastic piece on top and replace your keys.

The ribbon is not properly seated in the retention clip on the motherboard.

Good Luck.

The keyboard would need to be replaced because once the plastic tactiles are messed around with they loose there shape plus the metal pieces that the plastic tactiles stay on get bent as well which means the keys won't stay on as well and stay looser then normal, thats why its suggested to get a new keyboard.

hmmm..those are truly hard to find, the clips...

also, the bios password can be accessed on startup by using F2, then you'll see that option inside the bios setup.

those batteries are usually inside, under the bottom plastic panel. some others are under the palm rest, either way, you need to open up the whole unit.

see it this applies to your model
