space bar quit working on sony laptop

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?)

Key should be easily removable, on my laptop I think lifting up the front of
it works... (I managed to flick one off once by catching it with my jumper's
frayed ends - you could try this).

You probably unlatched one of the plastic springy thingys... I'd have a go
trying to remove the spacebar and then put it back on.
