FAQ's
Q: My Key Cap will not click down in place correctly. Whats wrong?
A: If the key assembly is not installing correctly, its either due to a component being damaged and needing to be replaced or a component not being orientated correctly. I would remove the key assembly and check for damage. If damage is found, replace the assembly. If no damage is found or you are unsure, try to install again. For help with the orientation, I sometimes remove another key cap, and compare the hinge clip to the one I'm trying to install. If you cant install after several tries, the key assembly is most likely damaged and needs to be replaced.
Q: Where can I purchase replacement keys?
A: If any component of the key assembly is broken, it would have to be replaced. I usually get my keys on Ebay or www.replacementlaptopkeys.com. If you cannot find a loose key for sale, you may have to purchase a keyboard and take a key from there.
Q: I have a Key or Keys that are not working. Will this fix them?
A: This video is a tutorial on how to replace a key. If your keys are not working but are not mechanically broken, troubleshoot them as seen here; • How To Fix Troubleshoo... .
Q: The hinge clip came apart into two pieces. How can I reassemble?
A: They fit together with a small plastic pin on the left and right of the inner clip. These fit into holes on the outer clip. To see exactly how the inner clip sits in the outer clip, remove another key cap and copy the clip under it.
Q: The rubber spring came off. How do I reattach it?
A: There isn't really a good way to reattach those. They are not meant to be replaced. Best advice is try to use a small amount of glue. If that does not work, you may have to replace the keyboard.

Thank you for this video it saved my money. I was planning to visit service center to get my ThinkPad repaired. My space bar was not working and after I removed and cleaned it and put it back, its working absolutely fine.
Great to hear !! Thanks for the comment and the like :):)
I thought I broke my shift key before when I went to clean it, turns out i was trying to reassemble it wrong and your video showed me how, thanks.

Man, that was a tough fix! It took me two hours to get it right. Thanks for the help! :D
Happy to help :) Always here if needed !! When I started doing computer repair, key repair was my least favorite New Guy job LOL
Really? For me it was only 5 minutes and it worked! This guy is a legend
My spacebar suddenly felt really blobby and wouldn't go back upward right after being pressed. This vid helped a lot :') turns out the metal part was a lil bit off and now it's fixed
Glad your all set :) Always here if needed !!
It is happening with me as wel and i can't fix it. Please help my spacebar is working fine but it is shaking up and down and i am fixing it the same way as shown in the video
My space key got sticky and wouldn't click as it used to thanks to me and my spilled juice... This is surprisingly easy but you have to be really, really careful with it is because I broke the key plastic in two... Luckily, the metal strings allowed me to snap it back anyway so the crack isn't visible that much... Telling this just for as a precaution to the next person brave enough to fix it's own keyboard.. Cheers, thanks for the help, really appreciated
Thanks for the comment :) Ya, those space keys are very long and can crack easily :(

I pried open only a tiny bit at first as I was too afraid of breaking the spacebar. But after watching your video and seeing how you just rip it up. I just went ahead and voila! i have a brand new spacebar now! I mean, it's the same spacebar, but I managed to clean some gunk underneath as well as wash the metal "rod", drying it and putting it back on the keyboard (it was sticky, kinda like how it would be if you dunked the metal in coke). I have never spilled anything on my keys so i think some crumbs might have gotten trapped and "melted" on the metal rods. Thanks a million!!!
Great to hear :) Yes, its good to clean those out sometimes as they do get rather nasty over time !!
Thank you so much !! My space bar was slow and cleaning it wasn’t doing the job 🙏

Glad your all set :) Always here if needed !!
Thank you for a good explanation. I was trying to figure out why my space key wasn't responding on the left side and it was probably a large amount of accumulated dust and dirt. So I fixed that and snapped everything back into place. When I was removing the space bar, one of the plastic attachments decoupled from the keyboard and not the cap, but I was able to remove it from the cap and install it on the keyboard. It appears to function properly.
The problem I have now is that the space bar does not spring back up after pressing it. The space bar works, but it no longer elevates after pressing it like it used to (and all the other keys continue to do, even a letter key I fixed). Could you please provide some suggestions on what I may have done wrong and how to fix this?
I've got the same problem! Did you manage to fix it somehow?? :3
@@patrickhentschke6542 , it eventually loosened up and a behaves more normally. Occasionally, the space bar doesn't work, but I live with it.
@@ianberman6486 Thanks for your answer. I managed to fix it now. I took out the plastic thingy on the right side. The spacebar feeld completely normal now, wherever I press it. I'm so happy, it's working now. I tried to solve that problem for two whole days and finally everything is perfect. Don't give up, guys! :D
Thanks a tons!

I have a T580 with a spacebar I removed and can't reattach. I've been to one service center and he couldn't get it either. I think I am closer now, with the help of your video, but little micro parts frustrate me so much, and I am afraid to break this machine further because it is precious to me.
i am so greatful your video saved me
Glad your all set :) Always here if needed !!
Great video! I took my spacebar out to clean it since I got gunk under it. I followed your video, which worked! However, my spacebar is a little stiff. It takes more force to press down than the other keys. The corners press down fine. I checked again and the stabilizers are hooked in, and the retainer clips are attached. I have a Lenovo Ideapad Gaming laptop. Any idea why this is happening?
If your Key Cap is not clicking down in place correctly, it is most likely due to the Retainer Clip not being properly installed or damaged. Remove the Cap and inspect for damage or that its not laying down flush and properly snapped in itself. Compare to another Clip if needed by removing another Cap.
thaks a lot you help me repare my space key!!!!!
👍
Great to hear !! Always here to help :):)
When I search something and press enter it puts space after it...why? I need help
Could be a driver issue or a keyboard issue. Try making sure your computer is updated as seen here; ruclips.net/video/eY_Yww2-Kyw/видео.html
If that does not help, then you may need to replace the keyboard.
@@PC_Monkey Nevermind i'm sorry it was a Roblox glitch and everyone had it, But thanks for the help :D

I've accidentaly removed the plastic nub, what glue do you recommend to reattach it?
I dont recommend gluing those at all as its not considered a good repair. If you have to, any household glue should do
YES i did it without breaking anything :)
Nice !!! Thats not easy to do lol

Space bar not working properly - intermittent on the far left, not at all on the right, perfectly in the middle. What am I looking for to correct this please?
Most likely the Key Cap is not correctly fastened to either the Retainer Clip or one of the metal bars.
@@PC_Monkey Okay thanks. Took the space bar off. The two long metal bars were seated correctly, got rid of all dust with a brush, put back together. No change. So, as suggested on another forum, took out both long flat bars and bent them into a slight concave shape; in the middle of the space bar position, the metal bar is still flat as before, but on the edges, they are both high, and from one end of the bar to the other, it's a nice, even smooth arc. You need to be careful as the bars are flimsy, and they still need to be able to slip into the locking holes at both ends. I put them back, it wasn't perfect but a lot better. I took them out and put them back a few times and adjusted the smooth bend and height of bend at the edges, and after a few attempts, got it absolutely perfect. The entire space bar is now very touch sensitive all the way along. That annoying as hell problem I've put up with has finally gone. Been using it a lot in the last four days and it's still perfect so happy it's cured. On reflection, this looks like a really lousy design or design build by Lenovo!!
@@thewanderer8 Glad your all set !! Thanks for the info :)
I did it the same way, but it does not click in place, can you help me what's the ptoblem?
If your Key Cap is not clicking down in place correctly, it is most likely due to the Retainer Clip not being properly installed or damaged. Remove the Cap and inspect for damage or that its not laying down flush and properly snapped in itself. Compare to another Clip if needed by removing another Cap.

Hi, so i eating and i spilt a drop of jam on my spacebar, i cleaned it up as best as I could without taking off that key. I then came back couple of hours later and found that it didn't go in properly. i took it off and cleaned all of it, waited for it to dry and then tried to put it back on. It now wont go in properly and whenever i click on one side the other moves up, PLEASE HELP!!!!
It could be damaged. If so, you would have to replace it as it wont go on properly. If its not damaged, then it just needs to be put on correctly which can be tricky. How will it not go on correct? The retainer clip or the key cap?
Got the spacebar back in but it doesn't work if I press down on the side of it. I have to press down in the button
If your Key Cap is not clicking down in place correctly, it is most likely due to the Retainer Clip not being properly installed or damaged. Remove the Cap and inspect for damage or that its not laying down flush and properly snapped in itself. Compare to another Clip if needed by removing another Cap.
So I took the space bar off, cleaned any debris out and put it back on. After watching the video I see I did everything correctly originally, any idea what the issue could be? Maybe internal?
What could be the issue with what? What is happening that your trying to fix?
