 Compaq Aramda e500.
One of the keycaps popped off. Doesn't look like anything is broke.
I can get the little "a-frame" piece back into the top slider socket.
Just can't figger how to get any leverage onto the bottom part to get
it pressed back into its notch. The keycap covers access to where I need
to push.
What's the secret?
Thanks, mike

"Looking from the side of the keyboard", make an X with the plastic clip
( the A frame thing) and push down. THAT piece snaps onto the base of the
keyboard. Now line up the keycap and push down - a bit hard - and the
keycap squeezes onto 'that plastic clip' . The plunger under the key
pushes it back up and the A frame guides it when depressed
