Question Missing Key

The "Y" key on my daughter's Packard Bell laptop has come off. She has lost the little spring or whatever that was underneath.

What can we do to replace it?? tia, david

Buy a new keyboard - only a couple of pounds from an online merchant like eBuyer

It's a laptop and I assume I can't just get another keyboard???

I have plenty of keyboards and I may be able to plug one in but shes uses laptop on move a lot.

You can get a replacment key board but wouldn't be cheap

you may find something on ebay there are a few people selling parts and dead laptops

if it's just the spring one from a pc key bord may fit
