Thats a hot key problem. Someone has set a "hot key" on your space bar to make it type that when pushed. Hot keys can be set to do all kinds of things. Like set a combination of pressing two at once to change someones display sideways as a joke ect.
You can turn of hot keys in your computers settings. I dont know what operating system you are running so I cannot give you exact instructions. Just open your help file and type in hot keys and it will tell you where the settings are.
There is a rubber part that is designed to spring up when you release the space bar - this is the contacts that is the electrical push button. At each end the metal bar is hooked to the plastic (the long space bar key). There may be a couple springs found as well - they should seat on the base. Connect all pieces and place the space bar key over the area where it aligns to the keyboard and snap it place with a slight force.
There is usually a metal piece under the space bar, if it isn't seated properly the space bar will teeter. Try to remove again and see if they metal bracket is seated correctly.
You can easily fix your space bar. I fixed mine last month when my daughter pulled it out of the keyboard. I used this video tutorial guide to help install the space bar key back into place. Its really very simple. have a look: http://www.laptopkey.com/installation_guides.php
On notebooks you have to hold the function key to access the secondary functions of various keys. The function key usualy has the symbol "Fn" and is three spaces to the left of the space bar. Hold that down and then press the "prt sc" button.
The space bar key is connected tothe keyboard a little bit differently then any other key. There is a metal retainer connectedto the space bar key (on some keyboard models). Separate the retainer from thespace bar key with a flathead screwdriver. Install the retainer back inplace as it shown on the picture. You have to engage the retainer with thesmall hooks on the keyboard. Put the space bar key back inplace and gently press on it with fingers until it snaps back in place. That’s it. The space bar key isinstalled back in place and should work as before. If you still cannot fix yourkeyboard, then you’ll have to find a new oneand replace it. Pleas rate my solution on fixya if you are done.
