Need to replace space bar on keyboard

I need to replace space bar on my keyboard of my HP Pavilion Entertainment PC.
It has been completely pulled off and won't click back. I think that little brackets are broken too. I don't know where to go to find the replacement or to have someone replace it for me. Please advise.
Thank you

Hi
Is your warranty valid?
In such case recommend contacting the ASP in your country to replace the kneeboard since this would be covered by warranty and it would be done free of charge.
As far as I know the keyboard replacement procedure is the same like for the R700 Portege series
Its difficult because you will need to remove other parts like
Battery, sim card, express card slot, memory modules, base assembly to get access to an
aluminum tape from the back of the cover assembly. Then you could turn the cover assembly face up and peel off the keyboard adhered to the insulator.
And additionally you can not use the removed keyboard and keyboard insulator again. You will need to use new parts.

  • No space bar on keyboard

    I'm trying to log in to a website and my iPhone has decided I don't need a space bar for this page, but my user name for the site requires me to be able to put in a space. Is there a way to make a space on the version of the keyboard that doesn't give me a space bar?

    I don't think it will be possible to put a space in an area where you want to enter in your Username, because I don't know of one website that you can have a space in your Username, which is why the new 2.0 software update does not allow you to put a space in a Username field. I believe that is the case.

  • Space bar on keyboard missing on iPad 2

    On both of my iPads (2&3) as well as my iphone, the keyboard is displaying but not the spacebar. it is occurring only on Safari (not Pages or other apps to type in)

    If you are typing in the URL field in Safari, you will not see the space bar. You cannot add spaces in the URL/address field and the iPad knows that when you tap in that field (place the insertion point) so the space bar does not appear on the keyboard.
    It is perfectly normal behavior.
    Tap in the search field in Safari and the space at appears.

  • Space Bar on keyboard malfunction

    The keyboard space bar on my 17" G4 Powerbook stopped working...
    Anyone have this problem? Any ideas on how to fix?
    Any advice, regarding this issue, would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Powerbook G4 - 17   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    What are the symptoms.... is it sticky, did you spill on it? If it's neither try restarting the computer, running disk utility, and if none of that works take it to the apple store to get fixed.

  • Space bar on keyboard

    My wife uses an original iPad with iOS 5. Recently when trying to enter Safari she finds that the keyboard which appears does not have a space bar on it which makes it difficult to enter an address. How can she recover it??

    If she is trying to type a URL into the address bar of Safari, the space bar will not be present because spaces are not allowed in URLs. The keyboard is program to not display the ace bar in situations where spaces are not allowed.

  • I have managed to lose the space bar on my keyboard. How do I get it back?

    Just got my ipad for Xmas. It really is great, but I have a lot to learn. Somehow when exploring the keyboard I have managed to replace the keyboard with various other exclamation marks etc. I can't get the space bar back. Please help a poor beginner.

    If you are using the keyboard in a text field where the space bar is not needed, the space bar disappears. When you are typing a web address in the URL field in Safari, for example, there will be no space bar on the keyboard.
    Is that the behavior that you are seeing? Tapping the ABC key or the 123? Keys will also change the keyboard to different characters.

  • Apple Aluminum Wired Keyboard: Space Bar Issues

    Depending on your typing style, you may need to change how you type for this keyboard to work properly. For example, many people type quickly and simply press keys on the edge rather than in the middle or top. For this reason, some keyboards have a larger spacebar, for example, so the wrist doesn’t need to turn in for the thumbs to reach the spacebar. Dell offers a keyboard for about $12 that has excellent ergonomic design:
    http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=bsd&cs=04&sku= 310-8038
    The only problem with the Dell keyboard above is that eventually (after about 6 months to a year) the key travel may become a little sticky. On the Apple keyboard, the spacebar does not descend to where the thumbs are naturally positioned, so the thumbs must move up to hit the spacebar squarely in the middle. This usually results on tapping on the bottom of the spacebar. With the new Apple keyboard, tapping on the bottom area of the spacebar produces erratic results. Just now, I pressed the space bar about 20 times on the bottom of the spacebar and that generated about 5 spaces (about 25% functional). So, it will be necessary to press the spacebar squarely in the (vertical) center or toward the top. Horizontally, the spacebar seems to work just fine as long as you are pressing it in the vertical middle or top.
    The caps lock key has similar issues as those with the spacebar mentioned above. Perhaps this is because it is a longer key than the other keys. If you are accustom to pressing the caps lock key with your little finger, you may try to engage caps lock by pressing the bottom portion of the caps lock key. This will work about 70% of the time, but not 100% of the time.
    I've posted more about this and other related keyboard issues here:
    http://web.mac.com/resourcesforlife/journal/writings/Entries/2007/8/21Apple_Aluminum_WiredKeyboard.html

    Thanks for the great description of the spacebar problem. I've been trying to figure out a good way to describe it. Here's my take:
    As you point out, the front edge of the spacebar sits too far up our thumbs, so it's located too close to the thumbnails, instead of having some portion sitting under our thumb knuckles, so less of our thumb is touching the spacebar along its lower half than would be desirable for a good hit. But this is a problem mostly caused by the short travel of the Aluminum keytops--I held a previous-generation Apple white keyboard up to the Aluminum keyboard, and there's very little difference in spacing of the keytops between the two keyboards--the bottom edge of the spacebar on the Aluminum keyboard sits only a tiny bit higher on my thumbs. What little difference there is, contributes to the spacebar problem, but it's the shorter travel of the Aluminum keytops that causes of most of the trouble for the spacebar. Hitting just the bottom edge of the earlier keyboard's spacebar is compensated for, because the earlier keyswitch design allows the keytops to travel further down than the Aluminum's, and it's this longer travel that allows the older keyboard's spacebar to actuate every time. With the Aluminum, your thumbs get stopped too early by the strip of aluminum below the spacebar, which sits at almost the same height as the top of the spacebar. At least Apple got the spacebar's cantelievering right, so you can hit either end of the spacebar and still register a keypress, even though there's only a single keyswitch in the middle.
    Possibly owners could make some modification to the spacebar to reduce this problem--maybe applying some kind of adhesive layer to the top of the spacebar to make it taller, but that would probably wear down too fast. More advanced modifications would include cutting away the strip of aluminum that our thumbs hit, but I doubt too many people would want to do that. Maybe someone could manufacture a taller replacement spacebar, or one that's slightly taller just along its lower edge, so the letter keys just above the spacebar wouldn't get overhung by the spacebar, causing you to hit the top edge of the spacebar when you want to hit one of those keys.
    I tried this theory, by cutting out some strips of Post-It notes, about a quarter-inch wide, and five sheets thick, along the whole length of the lower half of the spacebar, and it worked pretty well, but felt a little odd. A properly custom-designed spacebar would probably feel more natural.
    I'm still trying to get used to the aluminum's shorter key travel, after typing on regular desktop keyboards for about 27 years. One nice thing about the shorter key travel is that it's quieter, and so it's less distracting to other people in the room--maybe Apple did this so their laptops would make less noise in a classroom or office meeting? It also makes it less likely to wake up someone sleeping in the same room. Also, the shorter key travel has been a lot less stressful on my fingertips--even halfway through the day typing on the previous keyboards, my fingers would sometimes start to hurt a little.

  • Strange space bar behaviour on T410s keyboard (makes space + cursor right)

    I have just got in a T410s to my office which has a very quirky behaviour when hitting the space bar. It makes the space AND a cursor right. It happens in every application. The laptop is running Win 7 64-bit Enterprise.
    But, here comes the quirky thing; It doesn't happen if I plug in an external keyboard. AND I have also tried replacing the keyboard unit itself with a brand new CRU, so it can't be a problem with the keyboard itself (except maybe the controller if it's down on the motherboard).
    So, it feels likely it has to be a utility or a setting which the user has enabled by mistake, or possibly a driver error for the internal keyboard.
    Any clues on what could be the cause?

    The board needs to be replaced due to warranty, if there is no damage by liquids.

  • My space bar has disappeared when I open safari, and has been replaced by other keys. I don't understand why?

    My space bar has disappeared when I open safari and been replaced by other keys, does anyone know how this happened?

    When you tap in the address field to type the web address, another keyboard pops up without the space bar as no spaces are need when typing the web address. Just tap anywhere on the screen or on the keyboard icon in the lower right corner and the keyboard will go away.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Keyboard Space Bar

    the space bar on our G4 will not move the cursor (in Appleworks,Text Edit or renaming in iTunes) but if the computer is "Sleeping" depressing the space bar will "awaken" the computer. I tried the keyboard from our G5 and it works OK on the G4.
    Any ideas.
    Scott

    Hi, Scott -
    A thought... the Spacebar may be able to send a 'key-pressed' signal to wake the machine up (pressing any key should wake a machine), but for some reason no longer generates a 'space' signal. The way the Spacebar 'moves the cursor' is by entering the text character 'space'.
    That theory would seem to be supported by the keyboard from the G5 working on the G4.
    Try using the keyboard from the G4 on the G5 - does it still have the same problem then?
    If so, the problem would be in the keyboard itself, and would be a hardware fault, not a software one. Such a fault could be created by corrosion from spilled liquid, or even from dirt. It could also be caused by having had something plugged into the keyboard that overloaded its power-passing capability. Usually the only solution to a fault of that kind is to replace the keyboard.

  • X220 keyboard - space bar is loud

    The space bar on the keyboard of my new x220 is rather loud, much louder than the space bar on my x61s or x31.  It's quite audible when I push it and louder on release.  Also, the left Alt key is louder than the right Alt key.
    I reseated the keyboard it seems fine.  The two bottom screws go in easily and tightly.
    I'm hesitant to send it in for warranty service, given the stories I've heard about repair and I'd rather not be without the computer.
    Any suggestions?

    Ask for a replacement keyboard of a different part number? Might work.

  • My iBook's Keyboard Space Bar, right and F5 buttons not working...

    Yesterday I cleaned up my iBook's keyboard. Everything was working fine until I left my computer idle, even backlight of the display was dimmed. Then I noticed that my display was lit again, like if I had pressed a button on the keyboard, but I was away of my computer, I was on bed. Suddenly the keyboard started acting weird like if it had the command key pressed, so i disconected all power supplies and let the computer opened on my desk. I suspected that the keyboard somehow got wet, but I doubt it.
    Today everything seem to be working fine, until I tried to type something and noticed that the space bar, F5 and the right arrow (also end) don´t work :S
    I need help of what can be causing this, i already tried reseting the PMU, removing all power sources, checking preferences and even repaired permisions and noting seems to work. I just hope that my keyboard is not defective since my iBook just lost warranty past august :S

    I cleaned it with a mild soap and a clean cloth. Both were damp. I have cleaned it like this before and had no problems.
