Re: When typing some letters and spacebar will not work
Hi, it sounds like the rubber behind the space bar is weak or stuck and in both case you have to replace the entire keyboard because it's not worth fixing it compared to the price of a new one.
Take care

Hold down the "code" key, the one to the left of the spacebar that says "CODE" on it, and hit the "L" key (the one that says (Lang) on it. Should be back to normal.
Your lang light is probably turned on. Hold down the control button (left of the spacebar) and then hit the letter "L". This should turn off the feature.
There is an escapement type mechanism in the back of the typewriter, chances are, the escapement mechanism is out of movement or misaligned. Check the spacebar if something is caught underneath or over one of the linkages.
The key might be sticking down, which is probably a defect in the product. I tested an ihome keyboard (Bluetooth) and everything except the spacebar was prone to sticking itself down, no pop spill or nothing. So, I recommend to return the keyboard if you still have the receipt and get a Bluetooth Apple keyboard instead, as ihome is good for their docks, but their keyboards suck!
The T/W is probably just gummy. Will it tab? If so the correction mech. is probably the trouble, if not try some WD40 on the silver shaft that the s carrier slides on.
