About Lauren Bennett Expertise I am a computer science major and my dad is an Electric Engineering, so my life has revolved around computers. For as long as I can remember, I have been buying and selling computers. I tend to travel a lot, so I have always had a laptop. I have bought 5 of them for myself, and bought around 30-40 for friends and family. I have dealt with the good and the bad of various version and brand names. If you are in need of buying a laptop, feel free to contact me and I'm sure I will be able to guide you into purchasing the laptop that will be the best fit for you. I will custom build you computers for you to choose from so you can get an exact idea of what to go and buy when you do it yourself and so that you have an exact price. However, I am in the USA and am only knowledgeable about computers here in the US. I do not know about foreign currency or the quality of computer brand names outside the US.
Experience B.S. in Computer Science. Buying and selling for years. Assisting friends/family.

Question Hello Lauren,
Not sure if this is your area? but the shift key of my laptop came off, actually both it and the control key came off, i don't know how I managed it but the control key I fixed, however not having as much luck with the shift key.Is it possible to get the shift key back on??any advise greatly appreciated..many thanks, Tracy
Answer It is tricky, but I have not found a fool proof method to accomplish it yet. They truly do just snap on and off. You might have an easier time removing the keyboard to snap it back on. Here is a guide on how to do it:
If you don't have any luck, the keyboards don't cost too much so you might want to look into just replacing it. I buy them off of eBay when I need to. Just make sure it looks the same, is guaranteed to be new from Dell, and the seller has good feedback.
