Keyboard problem with space bar - Toshiba Satellite Pro M30 Notebook

What operating system are you using. On windows the on screen keyboard has a space bar.

Have you gone into the device manager and trying to update the driver? If that's not it, try uninstalling it and shut down and restart the computer? It will reload your driver for you. That's all that I can think of.

assume this is an acer laptop keyboard?

Sticky key: gently remove the space bar noting how the retaining clips fit. Clean under the bar and around the rubber buffer with isopropyl alcohol or similar, test before refitting the bar, if this does not resolve the problem, you may be looking at a partly damaged keyboard and will need to replace

If you are typing with the mouse, just click the space once to give one space after a word or after a letter. There's no other method or no other way to give space without using the space bar of the onscreen keyboard.



If you need further help, let me know.

Good luck.

Thanks for using FixYa.

if the keyboard is too old and if you have used it a lot, then ou have to replace the keyboard. The space bar alone had gone.

On dell's website there is a step by step instructions on how to attach it back on. I had to do the same thing on mine machine. Just go to dell's site and on the search bar on how to attach the keyboard.

You can easily fix your space bar. I fixed mine last month when my daughter pulled it out of the keyboard. I used this video tutorial guide to help install the space bar key back into place. Its really very simple. have a look:

you should go to control panel then click on keyboard setting and reset your key board or put on screen keyboard

I had the exact same problem and contacted Dell support. They sent a tech to swap out just the keyboard. I have a feeling these keyboards are not of the highest quality as I do have some issues with the Ctrl key now. But it's much less annoying than the broken spacebar.

turn your keyboard upside down and tap it a few times. if that doesnt solve the problem repeat.

If it still won't work write back for more ideas.

good luck and please rate my answer. thanks.
