    PCSPECIALIST Keyboard Key Broke

    I've got a single keycap snapped off on a 14" Fusion six months old. No bashes or bangs, it literally just came off when I wasn't looking and won't go back on because the hinge on the back of the keycap has snapped off. Keyboard is apparently so sensitive and parts so tricky to fit that the...
