most keyboard keys just snap on, not really sure about laptops though, I bet John Cole could answer this question, how about it Mr. Cole?

I wouldn't glue them.. cause they might not be able to be pressed. If they don't snap on you might have to take it somewhere to be fixed. Some laptops will let you plug in another keyboard in the back. Maybe you could do that.

Like Adam said, keys should just snap on. If not, then they key may be broken (look on the underside of the keys and see if that is the case). If so, then you have a few options:

1) Send it off for repairs
2) Buy a new keyboard from a parts store and install it. You should try ebay to see if you can find the part cheaply.
3) Or my favorite, buy a dead keyboard from either a computer show or ebay and pop off the keys you need and replace the bad ones. I've got several dead keyboards laying around just for this purpose!

Good luck.

Next thing you know we'll have a central warehouse for our dead keyboards, as much time as we all spend here. Can I buy a vowel?

Yeah, well I am the Queen of frying keyboards... last year I went through three in a two month time frame. After a Hard Lemonade and fingernail polish remover... I banned myself from having any liquid around my keyboards.

There is a reason why I am not named "Grace".
