Push down hard and move your finger in a circular motion, it should pop out. Then tap it repeatedly for about a minute, but be very delicate. It should get the spring working again.

When I type a letter on keyboard it keeps repeating the letter

The key might be sticking down, which is probably a defect in the product. I tested an ihome keyboard (Bluetooth) and everything except the spacebar was prone to sticking itself down, no pop spill or nothing. So, I recommend to return the keyboard if you still have the receipt and get a Bluetooth Apple keyboard instead, as ihome is good for their docks, but their keyboards suck!

Keyboard seems to stick

Find a tear down guide for your laptop. You'll want to get to the connection beneath the keyboard and see if the connection can be reseated. This will probably fix the problem. It could also be damaged, in which case you'll need a replacement.

The letter "C" popped off

Hi Madelaine_an,

I'm sure that when the letter popped off, two white plastics also came off beneath the letter. Now if you kept them and did not throw them away, you have to first fix both of them, one facing up, the other facing down. There are two insertion points on the missing space on your key board where they are to fit into. These white plastics have edges on them, and can be a little bit depressed to fit into their insertion points, where they expand to fill it after fitting. They are designed such that when you see them you would know which goes into what direction. If you try it one way and it doesnt fit in, then you are trying it wrongly. Reverse the directions. After you have done that, get your letter 'C', and press it into the white plastic. If you fixed the white plastic well, the key should lock into it, but be flexible, ie move up and down.

I hopoe that was able to solve your problem? I would appreciate a rating.
Have a nice day.

Both of my shift keys stick in the "up" position,

Hi Brown551967,

Its the dust & dirt in the keyboard problem. If you have a powerful vacuum cleaner, try cleaning your keyboard with that. But before that use a long bristled brush between the keys to loosen out any stubborn dust particles. Concentrate more on the affected keys. If this helps the fine else you might need to disassemble the keyboard and do a thorough cleaning. Please DON'T try it if you're not confident of doing it. Just cleaning it thoroughly will do the job.

Hope this solves your problem.

B130 LETTERS STICKING SOMME WILL NOT SHOW UP TRIED SPRAYING

Letter sticking means something got spilled into the laptop, luckily its just the keyboard acting up, best thing to do in this case is replace the keyboard cause even if you clean the stick keys others could go bad down the line.
