- Bend the paper clip in a straight line, carefully push it under the lower base of the element.
- Pull the key slightly towards you. These actions should displace an element from its base.
- The flown out button must be installed so that all fastening elements are not affected. Place the part in the upper position under the required fasteners.
- Press lightly on the part if it is in its place. Press gently and without unnecessary jerking.

If you want to replace a larger item, you will have to follow a slightly different instruction. In the design of such parts there are not only special “swings” made of plastic, but also metal stabilizers. Such a structural element is designed for uniform pressing. In order to fix this same stabilizer, two special holes are used on the inside of the element.
In order to insert a large key, you must:
- Insert the antennae into the corresponding grooves and place the dropped element in its place.
- Press lightly until a distinctive click is heard.
- If the “rocker” is disassembled, you will have to use a thin object. Perfectly for such purposes a toothpick or needle is suitable. We bring the sharp end to the groove and insert the antennae into their places.
If all the actions were performed correctly, then the “repair” is over.
