Solve : Help With Keyboard?

Answer»

Hi Everyone,
I recently decided to clean my keyboard, on replacing the keys I hit a problem with the space bar key, in which after replacing it only the centre of the space bar key creates a space when pressed, the other sides do nothing, I think I have not replaced the key correctly and i was wondering if any of you have any advice on how I would put it back on the right way, the keyboard is an Advent 3701 if that is any HELP:exclamationDid you break ANYTHING?

FlameSpacebar keys usually have a long metal bar hinged on the key that has to be correctly inserted into a couple of plastic hooks before you click the key into PLACE. I suspect that's what you've missed.Hi Again,
I have not broken anything in the keyboard and I have also found a long metal bar to hinge the key into but it would be helpful if any of you know how to hinge it properly beacause I still am having problems fixing it!!EVERY keyboard is different, so without a picture it's pretty hard to help. But this is usually how it is: the metal bar is connected to the spacebar key. The bar ends in two hooks that dangle down from the key, if you turn the hinge.

The two hooks fit into two plastic slots on the keyboard base. Offer up the metal hooks to the plastic hooks, and then ease the spacebar key into place.

If that doesn't do the TRICK, you're going to have to take some photos.
