✍If the keycap comes off, put it back in its place and push down gently until it clicks into place. If the Enter key, Space key or Shift key comes off, see “Replacing a Keycap” on page 83. Do not take off the keycaps intentionally, or push excessively when replacing them as this may cause the unit to malfunction.
