Hey All, So recently my 7 key broke and cracked on my MBA 2013. I took the key out and found the mechanism broken. I then just glued the key to the button, probably not the best idea, but I've got an empty pocket. The key now is stuck down, but still works and makes 7's. I'm quite worried that somehow this will hurt my computer. Any help would be appreciated!

Whatever you do, don't use glue to...!

Seriously, what kind of advice/help are you looking for?

Go onto eBay and search for the key and the scissor hinge
or any place like this.

Do NOT use glue of any kind
They are easy to put back on, search for videos and there are plenty.

Some times apple will replace it for free if you ask nicely, set up a visit
