The spacebar has fallen off. I can't figure out how to reattach it. Everytime I put it back on, it's stuck all the way down

Some of these have a leaf spring that either twist to the side or breaks. Usually there is a spring that pulls that space bar back up.

its a safety issue...take it to the dealer..there should be no charge

You need to reposition (clip) the torssion bar under the spacebar key (a steel wire formed in a wide U shape), it is unhooked, call for a professionnal if you'r not sure how to do this as you may brake the plastic hinge if you don't know what you'r dooing...

Greetings,

You may have some small item underneath the spacebar. The spacebar will "pop up" if you use a screwdriver or something to pry it up from the keyboard. Insert it near the B on the top side of the spacebar and pry up towards you. Clean out from underneath and reattach it.

It is tricky to repair the space bar. It has a plunger in the middle and is held in place by tension clips. The tension clips are what make the spacebar pop back up. Usually one clip comes loose and the other side still bounces. If the spacebar is stuck down with no bounce, I would check to see if there is something wedged under the spacebar. Get a can of compress air and blow under it, hopefully this will release whatever is under there. Only take the spacebar off carefully without jerking it upwards. If it breaks the clip holder at each end, you will need a new KB.

Good Luck.

pop the space key off altogether using a screwdriver or any flat object, make sure the scissor clips that it connects to are not malfunctioning, you can install new clips, but popping it up and reattaching it should fix your problem

if it is just the spaacebar cover, it should just snap back on, line the snaps up and press down ~ hope this helps

I find the trick to putting laptop keys back on is to extend the little arms completely up. (it looks like an X from the side) then put a very small screwdriver on at least one side to stop them falling back down, then press the key on firmly but gently. The top of the arms should click into the underside of the key, then you should have its springy-ness back.

Let us know!

sounds like the rubber is stuck, take off your space bar (make sure you can put it back), make sure theres nothing on the little rubber peices, and put it back on
