Do you have all the pieces? In addition to the key,there is often a wire or plastic bail (hoop), and sometimes a tiny plunger. The assembly is very subtle and I don't think I can describe putting it back together without seeing it.
Some keyboards never go back together right, I'm afraid. That's why manufacturers just swap the keyboard, they don't want to fool with it either.
