Toshiba portege z935-p300 Space bar not working

Hello everyone,
New to this forum but I'm hoping you can help me out. So I have a client that recently spilled liquid on her keyboard (toshiba portege z935-p300) and the space bar button stopped working. I havent cleaned under the button yet but obviously I'll do that first.
Typically when this occured I'd just go online and buy the entire keyboard tray and normally the issue is fixed. Well this specific keyboard I cannot find anywhere.
So the questions are does anyone know where I could find one of these keyboards? I found a site that sells the buttons for the keyboard which is what I'll be trying if I cant find the entire assembly.
Thanks in advance.

HERE is one on Ebay for $50. I've had very good luck ordering keyboards from Ebay vendors.

Gt-60 space bar not working

I have had a gt60 for almost 2 years now, so it is definitely not under warranty anymore. And recently, an issue came up. When I login to windows 7, right when the login screen appears, the spacebar is continually entering, like it is being held down. I press any key and it stops. From that moment on, the space bar does not work. Then if I press "zx", the spacebar acts as if it has been held down again. it is very strange. I tried the keyboard under Linux, and the spacebar does not work. I think its a hardware issue, but I am not sure. Any advice, or anyone experience a similar problem?

Hi,
Yes i have a similar problem but it is my tab key.
It started a few months ago and went away and recently made an unfortunate return yesterday.
My problem is that when my laptop is turned on the tab key is always "pressed", however when i used to press it it would stop and start again in a few seconds.
This time around after i press it, it instantly goes back to the always pressed state.
(I should also mention i think pressing caps lock also stops it briefly (<1 second) and it starts again.)
However, after about 5 to 10 minutes of trying to use my laptop the problem goes away and i can use the tab key as normal.
(By trying to use i mean using it while pressing tab to get it to stop for 1 second to click or do something.)
Did you solve your problem? Let me know please!
Or i might have to disable the laptop keyboard and buy an external one :(.

Space bar not working to move the document

I am having issues with shift-constrain resizing not working, and option-drag duplication not working, also using the space bar to move the document around the viewport. OSX 10.10, InDesign CC. I reset the preferences, restarted which failed to solve the problem, anyone knows how to make it work? Thanks!

Hi
I'd just like to add, since updating a couple of Mac Pro clients, running Mavericks 10.9.2 and Photoshop CC with the latest 6.3.8-2 Wacom Driver, early signs are that users have noted an improvement in performance of Photoshop CC.
Its quite early days yet, however shortcuts that had been slow to respond and we have had multiple app crashes in Photoshop CC when using multi-layed 16-Bit Tiffs, seem to be ironed out.
Also we have had to use the whitewindow plugin for photoshop too.
Sorry to crash in on an InDesign thread regarding Photoshop CC issues, however I have seen a lot of common ground for many folks issues with Adobe software being they are using a Wacom device of some sort.
Would be good to know if others have noted any improvements with this driver?

Water Spill on Keyboard Space Bar Not Working

Greetings,
One of my employees recently spilled a cup of water on their keyboard. I unplugged the keyboard, shook the water out of it and it seemed to work fine. A few days later, I was informed that the "space key" was no longer working.
Is there anything I should try to repair it? I am used to being "hands on" with repairs to our systems (we have about 30 Mac's on site). But, I wasn't sure if spills are considered irreversible damage to keyboards, etc. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Don't use the dish washer trick with an eMac keyboard (the Mac keyboard with the nice crumb and liquid catching clear under-tray). I recently had a spill on my keyboard and decided to take apart the keyboard to investigate why some of my old keyboard cleaning tricks were not working. On disassembly I discovered these keyboards are not like the keyboards of yester-year.
Old keyboards were simply a rigid printed circuit board (PCB) and then the keys over it that pressed down and shorted traces on the PCB to make a key stroke. hen those got dirty you could very easily literally wash them, let them dry and continue to use.
These newer Mac keyboards do not use the same method. Now they have a few layers of thin flexible plastic sheets with traces imprinted in them. Several of these are sandwiched together. The keys above press down and make contact and also press the layers of contacts together.
The problem with the new method is once you get liquid in there, the liquid seeps between the thin plastic layers and simply sits forever with no air flow to dry out the liquid. So once you get liquid in there, it will either never dry out or take a very long time (months minimum) to dry out.
Once you get liquid in there, about the only solution is to pull the keyboard apart and separate all the layers and let them air dry or wipe them down. It is a PITA since each key has a little rubber dome that goes over each spot and they are not attached to the keys, so you have to put the layers back together, then put each of those 100+ rubbers in place then attach the backing rigid piece without moving any of the rubbers. It takes a fair amount of time.
My keyboard still doesn't work 100%, so I will buy a new one one of these days. Next time, I won't even bother with trying to clean it. I will just spend the $29.95 and get a new one.

Space bar not working all to well

I had somert stuck under my spacebar so I though I'd just click it off and fix it. But when I came to click it back in place, itstoppedworking!!!
Everything in right, and all the plastic pieces are clicked down properly so when pressed, they lay flat, and the two metal bars are in the right place, but unless I press down quite firmly on the center of the space bar, it doesnt work. Which is annoying when your typing loads and having to stop between each word to stab at the thing with yer finger!
Anyone had the same problem?

I went though the youtube vids, but I still had the same problem, but I've inadvertently come across a solution. Under the space bar are two metal bars. I took the one closest to the tracker pad completely out, and now its working like a treat! I didn't have a single time when writing this that it didn't work!
Glad you got it working.
I better keep this metal bar incase is was important and its absence causes my space bar to combust or somert O.o
Thanks for the help tkj
No worries.

Larger preview with the space bar not working

Yosemite 10.10.1 on an iMac: you know how you can single click on a photo or file in Finder, then press the spacebar and a window opens with a larger view of the file without actually opening it? I don't know what you call that (do tell me if you know), but it has stopped working like it used to in the last week.
I do get the window, but only a smaller thumbnail preview now, with a white border around it. These preview thumbnails are only about 1.5" by 2", and won't resize. Granted, it's bigger than the actual file icon, but not as big as it used to go when hitting the spacebar (nearly the height of the full screen). I've attached an image showing Now and Before.
The top image is only a cropped screen grab of less than a quarter of my screen. The bottom image is the full screen off my older Mac where this preview option still works.
Notice, too, that even the thumbnail of the image, in the Finder window, is constricted and has that white border now.
Did the key command change? or is there a preference I've accidentally turned off?
Thanks in advance for any help.

that directory is not on my iMac, James. I have ~/Library/QuickLook/iBooksAuthor.qlgenerator or ~/Library/QuickLook/iWork.qlgenerator/
under ~/Library/Caches I have
Why would it suddenly stop working, Japib? I didn't update recently...
and these are just the usual files I've always looked at with QuickLook -- mostly photos.
thanks for your input. Any other suggestions? should I call Apple Support?

IBook Space Bar not working

Anyone know if this involves merely a keyboard cleaning or something else?
This just started yesterday, and I shut down rather than put it to sleep, and then re-started, thinking it was just some electronic glitch. Still dealing with it today.
Any advice/information would be greatly appreciated, since Apple repair is 100 miles away!
Cheers -

Hey Nathan and Welcome to Apple Discussions,
Yes you should have started a new thread because the one you're at the bottom off has nothing to do with your problem. So repost and start a new thread with the proper title. I think this would be of interest to people in the same boat.
That said, look here:
http://www.powerbookmedic.com/xcart1/product.php?productid=16690
click on the:
"Click to download Key Installation Instructions (1.4MB)"
to download a .pdf on how the keys attach and especially how the scissors mechanism works.
Then look here:
http://s291.photobucket.com/albums/ll306/spudnuty/?action=view&current=iBookSpac ebardetail.jpg
Which is a detail of the spacebar itself. It's the right side and it's flipped back so the top is the bottom as it installs on the keyboard.
The left side is the mirror image of this side.
Those two metal bars must be attached as shown and be intact otherwise you'll need a new spacebar. (Power Book Medic as above)
So basically you slide the "scissor guides" over the bottom of the nibs on the bottom part of the scissors ( Again study the pic of the scissors mechanism closely. If any of those nibs are broken or missing you'll need a new mechanism.)
Both side at the same time and push down hard. The top of the scissors mechanism will snap in place (Scissors clips) and at the same time the stabilizer bars (those two metal bars) will also snap in place.
Good luck.
Richard

Space bar not working imac

Suddenly for no reason the backspace, spacebar and caps lock are no longer working on my wireless keyboard.
I've seen loads of posts with the same problem but wondered if its a software issue of if the keyboard has just died? I've tried it with other user accounts and repared the keyboard but no joy.
Any help would be appreciated.

Try another keyboard.
Additionaly most any generic Logitech or Windows USB keyboard will work with Mac's.

Replacing Battery on Portege' Z935-P300

Has any attempted or thought about replacing the battery on this laptop? At the moment the battery time is still amazing but I can see it starting to deminish faster and take longer to hit the full charge. I just know that down the road a new battery will be needed, thoughts?

DO NOT USE LAPTOPBATTERYONLINE.NET. They scammed me out of my money for this exact battery. The battery arrived with most of the Toshiba label torn off, probably by another company in order to mark it as a defective/used battery. It did not hold any charge. They also will not refund my money.
This is my email exchange with them, to give you a sense of who you're dealing with. The first email was sent by me on their website. The rest occured over gmail. The punctuation, capitalization, and grammar are verbatim.
They are scumbags.
[Me, March 19, on their website]
Hi,
I ordered the following battery:
1 x 8 Cell Toshiba Portege Z935-P300 Z935-P390 Battery
(LBO-Toshiba-8Cell-PA5013U-1BRS-Z930-6)
My Order Confirmation number was xxxxxx. I need a Return Merchandise
Authorisation (RMA). After installing the battery and allowing it to charge
in the laptop overnight, it will not hold a charge. The battery charge
reading fluctuates from 2% to 100%, with a red "X" in the taskbar icon and a
warning that says "consider replacing your battery". If the laptop is
unplugged, it shutdowns down suddenly after about a minute.
I ran "powercfg -energy" from the Windows command prompt. The report
generated had this:
Battery ID 0000000678G71C000CH310
Design Capacity 46472
Last Full Charge 1905
Last Full Charge (%) 4
Thank you.
Best,
xxxxxxxxxxx

now it can work or not?
[Me, March 20, [email protected]]
The battery does not work. It cannot hold a charge. If I unplug the laptop, it shuts down a few seconds later.
["king mary", March 21, [email protected]]
please use your charger to charge it first.
[Me, March 21, [email protected]]
I already did. In fact, I already described how I charged it in my first email.
[Me, March 29, [email protected]]
Are you going to reply to me? Otherwise I will contact MasterCard tell them you have sold me a fraudulent product and are not reimbursing me.
