Put Keys Back on a Laptop Keyboard

The keys on the majority of Dell laptops are held in place with what is called a "scissor" component. The two scissor components work alongside each other, along with a small spring, to provide the "bounce" needed to raise the laptop key up to it's original position after you press it. If one of these falls off, it's possible to put a key back on a Lenovo Laptop Keyboard with out too much trouble.
