Did you spill something on the keyboard? It could have dust etc particles that are preventing full contact or the keyboard itself may have a problem.

Turn it over and very carefully pat the back to dislodge any grit that may be under the keys. Don't whack it full force, just slap it gently. You can also carefully blow it out with canned air. If that doesn't do it then chances are the keyboard has a problem and needs to be replaced. That requires taking it apart and replacing it with a new keyboard which has to be for that specific model. Not a job to do yourself unless you feel confident taking a laptop apart...

Fix spacebar

On a Desktop, just purchase a new kb for $16 or so. On a laptop, it's an involved process to replace the kb.

To get a space without a spacebar, try these two suggestions:

- Press Alt/32 (that's Alt with 3 2) then release the Alt key.
- Run OSK and click the spacebar.

The actual model number MIGHT get you a repair procedure in a Google or Youtube search for "repair spacebar".

I broke my spacebar off my laptop gateway computer! How do i fix this?

Of all the keys on the keyboard, replacing the SPACEBAR is probably the most difficult. The SPACEBAR is kept even by a metal wire that is inserted into slots on each leg of the plastic bar key. However, you have to get the wire into the slots without depressing the wire. If you push the wire down, you compress the wire and installation becomes impossible. As a general rule, do not remove the SPACEBAR unless absolutely necessary. If you remove the SPACEBAR, remove several surrounding key caps also. This will let you get some tools under the SPACEBAR wire later on. Once the SPACEBAR is reinserted, you can easily replace any of the other key caps.

The spacebar doesn't work consistantly unless ''pounded''

The spacebar is the most often used switch on your keyboard, so, yes, it's from overuse, but also from
the fact that it is the longest key on your keyboard and the closest to the edge, all of this combining to
make it the dirtiest key on the board.

So, get a keyboard cleaning kit, either professional or DIY which would consist of the following, cotton
swabs, compressed air, and maybe a toothbrush and realize that all the stuff that accumulates under
your keyboard's space key makes it harder to depress to the point where contact is made.
