    You should hide your mothers whip.

    Look on the back of the key, there should be 2 little white things.
    If there isn't 2, the key is broke. Just bring it to the place you bought it at and ask them if they can get it back on. That's what I did when it happened to me.

    Did you try hiding her metronome?

    There should be some needle looking things on the bottom of the key, they go in the holes on the bolts.
    The big squishy thing activates the key.
    And I don't know about the big ol' thing (lol), but is there anything else on the bottom of the key?

    That looks exactly like a laptop key. There's a video on it, it's a quick search.

    What Mcc said. If you're having a hard time understanding Pro's explanation, I suggest looking up some videos for visual representation. YouTube will most likely provide a video that matches your description and issue.
    If it doesn't, run.

    None of them worked.

    I told you guys, I tried everything I could. :I And for Mcc, that video didn't say how to put back in small keys. For Leandro, that didn't work. -o-

    Sorry Trollestia..
    Could you possibly take a picture of your keys and your Macbook? Maybe put a penny there for size reference?
