spacebar = not working!
hey. um well i have a problem. a little while ago, my spacebar just kinda like, got caught on something i guess & i have to apply a lot of pressure on it for it to work. i tried
- shaking the keyboard while pressing the keyboard to move any particles
- cleaning the keyboard with a blowthing that removies dirt & dust
- pressing the spacebar in different places to put it back in its original position
can someone help me? usually i just tap it & it would work fine. it's like there's something underneath it?

As Master_Betty said just pull it off. :] With most keyboards the keys are simply pushed into sockets so if you put a flat head screwdriver under the spacebar and slowly push it up and out it will just pop out. Keep a close eye open under it because the spacebar sometimes has an extra little bit under it (a metal bit) so you'll be wanting to put that back the same way afterwards. After that just clean it properly or remove and dirt and such under there and pop the spacebar back on and it should work fine after that. You may have to open the whole keyboard up if you cant pull the keys off or it still causes you problems in which case it will mean there is something in the way between the keys and the actual microchip board inside. As long as you're careful you should be able to put it all back together again but if you've got an expensive keyboard I would suggest having someone open it who know what they are doing.

You should be able to prise it off and check. If it looks like somehing's going to break, use a screwdriver to take it apart, it's easy enough to put it back together.
