Acer Aspire One  PC Notebook Logo

Laptop key popped out!

My laptop is an Acer Aspire. I had something stuck under the ‘ESC’ and while I was trying to get it out the whole ‘ESC’ button popped out. Obviously I can still get it to work, but I have to push really hard on the blank spot where the button used to be. My finger has started hurting a lot. Is there a solution to my problem?

Have you tried pushing the key back on the blank spot hard? Usually it will clip itself back on.

There is a solution to your problem. All you need is http://www.laptopkey.com. I had the same problem a couple of months back and I din't want to spend $85 for a whole new kerboard so I ordered my replacement keys from them. They have great customer service and save me a whole lot of money. I would recommend this to you strongly. Check them out!
