help!!! space bar wont go back in spot without jamming!
« on: August 12, 2010, 03:09:56 PM »
So I was cleaning under the keys, and all was good except for space. I try to put it back but it just jams after hearing the click of it going into place.


I will post a pic if needed.

Wrestle around the little metal bar under the key. As you can see, it fits in little slots on the keyboard, and little slots on he key itself. Press the metal bar onto the slots on the keyboard. Align it so that when you push in the space key, the bar will also pop into the slots on the key. Then put in the key, still making sure everything aligns perfectly. Next, using all your force, SLAM your fist into the key, pushing it in, hopefully making the key both snap on the plastic parts on the keyboard, and the metal bar.

There are probably similar bars under the left shift and numpad 0 keys. Watch out.

Also, why ask on GTM?

I kind of fixed it, it's slightly jammed, but it works for icy tower at least...

Why not ask GTM? I got a reply didn't I? =)

Hmm, I guess you have spilled something all over it, didn't you?
 
Piss on your keyboard and kaw like a bird.
Put this onto your signature if you were part of this crappy fad in '03.
