Key board space bar stuck

My new pre owened 3GLG the space bar gets stuck and will not work 98% of the time? Should I return it?

Hi Bankie,
Here are a few videos showing how to remove/install key caps. It's going to be necessary at some point, so might as well get it out of the way. If you're not comfortable doing it, you may want to make an appointment at an Apple Store "genius" bar.

Firefox 3.6.11 does not respond on mouse, only Tab key and space bar

HW: Lenovo R61i.
OS: MS Win-XP PRO, ver 20002, SP3
Internet Explorer is diabled in:
Contol Panal|add/remove programs|add/remove windows components
All other programs responds om USB mouse or the little joy-stick between G, H and B-keys.
Removed FF, booted and reinstalled FF 3.6.11.
Mouse works a couple of cliks - then Tab key and Space bar is the only tool.
By the way - living in Norway, means No version og FF :)

Getting very tired of this problem which is becoming much more frequent. I love the FF browser, but lately after I have been on line for a while, the browser stops responding to mouse clicks and I have to use the task manager to shut the program down and then reopen it to get it to work. From what I've been reading in the forums, this is not an uncommon problem. I've done all the recommended fixes and nothing works. Please fix this!!

No Shift key or Space bar

This is getting really annoying. This has happened every day this week! Flash and Illustrator. I loose my Shift key so I can't scale objects proportionately or/and I loose my space bar so I can't get the hand tool to pan around my canvas. It's so annoying. I trash my prefs. I turn off MS software. I have to restart to get them back. Anyone please tell me something I have not tried or am not doing to stop this annoying problem? Running on a Mac with OS 10.6.7 with CS4 but I think it even happens when I use my demo version of CS5.

GES,
Applications known to cause interference are listed in Item 7 of Other options.
I am not sure whether it may help to look at some of the other items, or to Move the folder.
Sometimes, things are strange.

Arrow key and space bar do not work scrolling in PDF document with film file?

I have made a single PDF file from 26 different InDesign files, first exported to PDF:s. Text and photos. One of the documents contain a film file (.mov). As I scroll through the documents in full screen mode, once I start to play and stop the film I can no longer use the spacebar nor right arrow key to get to the next document. Only mouse works.
Adobe 11.0.10 MBP with Yosemite.
Many thanks for input!

Hi Melfour-

Delete Key and Space Bar Stopped Working

I have an older MacPro - the MacPro 1,1 model.
Hadn't used it in a while a - when I set it up again the keyboard's Delete key and SpaceBar won't work.
Here is the topline:
1. I left the power cord in the office and used a PC one. Not sure if this could be the cause.
2. I upgraded to 10.6.8 the most current. Didn't help.
3. Reset the PRAM - Didn't Help.
4. Checked the Keyboard Viewer - Not sure what that does other than to confirm something is happening.
If I had to guess - and based on other forums I have looked at - it will likely be a power issue.
How that affects these keys - I have no idea.
I will test this next.
But if anyone has experienced this would love to hear if you solved it.
Thanks,

Thanks Grant,
appreciate the info.
I did try that, and switching the power cord (Which was a long shot) and still not luck.
Pretty facinating issue.
I am going ot continue to look through the forums and see if I find anything.
Thanks again!
If anyone else has had this issue with an older MacPro - I would love ot hear it.

My key board is stuck in the fuction setting only while in fire fox. i can`t use the question mark i only get this É

My baby must of hit a combination of keys while no one was looking and i don`t have use of some of my keys any more it`s like my function setting on the key board is stuck on. It only does it while in firefox though my keyboard works normally otherwise

In addition to the above:
Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application and you may have changed the keyboard layout by accident via a keyboard shortcut.
See:
* http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306993 - HOW TO: Use the Language Bar in Windows XP
The default keys to rotate the layout is a combination (Ctrl+Shift or Alt+Shift) that can easily be used in Firefox to activate a menu item.<br />
To avoid an unintentional switch, assign a specific key sequence (Alt/Ctrl+Shift+number) to select keyboard layouts and remove the key combination to rotate layouts (Alt+Shift or Ctrl+Shift)

[X220] space bar key noise reduction

Since a while the space bar key is much noisier than other keys, especially if not pressed in the center. Before to get a replacement keyboard I'dl like to clean and eventually put a little of oil on hinger under the key. Can You tell me how can I remove the space bar key with no risk to break or wiken the key itself ? Thanks, Stefano. P.S.: I've already changed the keyboard some time ago. I'm using this one from about 5 months

Hi TheLiar,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
I regret to inform you that we cannot remove individual keys on the keyboard; the connecter is so delicate that it might break. Only think is that you have to check if there is any foreign particle stuck in between the keys, or you can check cleaning the keyboard with a vacuum cleaner.
If you find that issue still persists then you have to replace the complete keyboard unit.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Hemanth Kumar

Wireless keyboard n key is putting a space and my space bar does not work

My wireless key board keys are not working ... my n key adds a space my space bar is = and my delete is arrow left... no clear pattern to the incorrect key strokes. I have gone into language and text and keyboard and it does not help. I also rebooted and removed batteries

m, n, and space are only one bit apart in the code they generate. It sounds like it might be a hardware problem in the keyboard.

What key(s) do i type to change language from english to other? i am writing s story in dual languages. i was told to click command and space bar together but it is not working.

Command Spacebar opens Spotlight as you have found out. If you want to change languages you need to say what app you are using to write the story in, I'm guessing you are using Pages or MS Word. If that's the case
Pages: Open Inspector - Click the T tab - Click Language and change your language.
MS Word: Tools Menu - Language - Choose your language.

I can edit on Premiere Pro 6 files, but after a dozen keystrokes, the space bar and cursor keys stop working while the save function works

I can edit on Premiere Pro 6 files, but after a dozen keystrokes, the space bar and cursor keys stop working while the save function, render workspace function, export file are still operational. How can I fix it so I may complete my assignment?
Besides DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Creative Suite 6 is the only software on the machine. I am using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Operating System on AMD FX 6100 six-Core Processor at 3.31gHz and 32 GB RAM memory. There are two SLI-bridged GTX680 NVidia cards.
The software was very stable for the last six months, working with 720P proxy files from 2.5K masters (Blackmagic Design Camera). I am working on a feature-length project that exceeds 1000 edits. I have broken the file into 2 one hour segments.
I have deactivated the software before reinstalling the entire OS from scratch. PP6 was very stable for 48 hours. Then the freezing space bar returns. After a dozen strokes into the project, same problem. I have made cache files store next to originals, I have deleted preview files if they were corrupted and causing instability. Am I missing something?
I have Microsoft Security Essentials for virus protection. I double checked the memory for damage/defect. Nothing says that the motherboard or other components are damaged.
I am in film competition overseas and need to have deliverables in less than a month's time. I lost the last two weeks troubleshooting and this crisis came at an inopportune moment of the project.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Still getting software freezes but found a way to mitigate for the mean time.
Upon launching Adobe Premiere Pro, hit CTRL-ALT-DEL to launch TaskManager as well.
You will want to highlight Adobe QT32 Server.exe
Right click and select "End Process Tree"
You will get considerable stability in the program, long enough to get timing of cuts done. Be sure to save often.
If the program freezes, do not hit Save. You definitely want to avoid saving the corruption into your TimeLine
CTRL-ALT-DEL to relaunch the TaskManager and highlight Adobe Premiere Pro.exe
Right-click to "End Process"
No need to reboot the whole system; just launch Premiere Pro again and continue with the session. Note that your work reverted to Last Save.
Hope this helps until the bug is fixed.

Hi, did you upgrade the OS lately?
I think Spark cured this for another person and the same problem...

In Firefox 3.6 and later versions you can disable the F7 shortcut that toggles caret browsing by setting the pref accessibility.browsewithcaret_shortcut.enabled to false.
To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.

Three keys of my keyboard are not working, the cap one, the return key and the space bar, while the virtual keyboard shows to others keys highlighted in orange (^ and `); How to fix it? I writing now with a bluetooth keyboard.

All new keyboards need Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and above for full functionality.
Rather short-sighted of Apple perhaps, but that seems to be a trend these days.
I'm afraid the only fix is to upgrade to SL. Personaly, I'd take it back and get a refund and seek an older keyboard or a third-party one elsewhere.

Pavilion dm4 keyboard keys don't consistently respond, especially the space bar

Key board response is inconsistent unless I deliberately press each key. Especially poor with space bar

my sense is that this is a common, sporadic problem for the pavilion series. mine has been through two help sessions and one return during which the keyboard was replaced without effect. i have no read of a real fix. mine got better though far from cured with a keyboard driver uninstall/reinstall.
i think it is a systemic issue that HP is trying to ignore since it effects much of the Pavilion line.
