Surprised to discover how easy it was! Thanks. Most online ‘tutorials’ deal with replacing a broken keycap. This was the only one where I could understand how to remove an exsiting keycap. Thanks!
The left Ctrl key on my X230 pops off. Could be they key or could be the post. How do I tell which? If key just buy new one. If post how do I repair it?
