C is for Cat.
Also for Claw.
The aforementioned Claw of said Cat inserted itself under the “C”-key of my notebook keyboard just as I was lifting said Cat off my keyboard, onto which it had jumped in an effort to heck-if-I-know.
So the key is now detached, and the mechanism for its attachment is clearly too complex for its own good. Also, one of the hinges has a break in it.
It seems that there are two hinges, one black and on the back of the key, opening downwards, and one grey and on the keyboard, opening upwards. There is a hooking point under the grey one, and the underside of the key has parts that seem like they could lock into the corners of the grey hinge. The grey hinge has a break in it (Cat-induced).
Any hints on reattaching this damnable thing? Or for kluge-ing it back into useable order?
