After having taken off my space bar to clean underneath (well okay I was foraging for food), I can't get the bloody thing back on properly. It's very annoying! Anyone got any tips?

Got any silicon gel? Maybe a tiny wee bit of oil would work.

It's more like I can't get it to sit properly, so it only works when I hit it right in the middle, and the edges are just wobbly.

I have no helpful hints....I just felt the need to say You Fool!

bugger off!

. Buy a new keyboard
. Dont eat at the computer
. Or find out if someone has a spare keyboard.

Don't have any money - will have to put up with this one...

[neonpinkdoll.livejournal.com]

Id send you my spare but that would be a bugger to send.

Cheers :) I can cope for the moment - might even dig out my old crappy one...

Sit on it.

[cheekbones3.livejournal.com]

Hmm...not sure if that would really help much!

[ex-jetgrrrl855.livejournal.com]

Are you absolutely sure?! I mean you never know!

lol

The only thing that might happen would be the space bar become lost and irretrievable...

[ex-jetgrrrl855.livejournal.com]

Or the whole thing would be crushed under your immense body mass!...

...fatty!! ;)

[cheekbones3.livejournal.com]

Oh! That hurts! :'(

[ex-jetgrrrl855.livejournal.com]

Heh heh

Was joking of course!

[cheekbones3.livejournal.com]

Pah! Just be glad I didn't say anything about you :)

[ex-jetgrrrl855.livejournal.com]

:P

Don't take the space bar off, they are a bugger to get back on properly.
Pop off all the keys in the row above to clean under the space bar.

Now why didn't you tell me that yesterday?!

[kynon.livejournal.com]

You didn't ask... :P

[cheekbones3.livejournal.com]

Hardeehar!

Er... How did you GET your spacebar off without removing keys???

New ones are only like $10 or so.. what's that like 6 pounds or something?

[cheekbones3.livejournal.com]

With a knife!

It's not broken, just wobbly! A new one would have just the same trouble...

[66-pony.livejournal.com]

Well, right with a knife, but looking at my keyboard I don't see how you could wedge it in without mucking with all the other surrounding keys.

And that was $10 for a new keyboard, which would NOT have the same problem. I'm fairly certain no one sells just space bars.

:) Of course! I'm that skint at the moment though...

No probs with the other keys - lots of space between!
