Got a weird laptop problem...Any ideas?

[sirpado]

Alrighty,

This one is a little odd. On my tiny laptop(sharp actius ultraportable), the space bar key sticks and is hard to use. Half the time it doesnt work unless I hit it real hard, and it also often sticks. I have looked inside the mechanics and called sharp and theres really not a solution to it as far as fixing it.

I was wondering if there would be a way to remap the keys so i could asssign some other button the space bar function? do you think this would work? what button would u assign?

does anyone else have any other ideas? i really appreciate it.

Thanks!

I don't know of a way to remap it (although I'm sure there is a way) - have you used a knife to pry off the space bar itself and see if the little rubber button thing is still intact?

As much as it pains me to help someone with a technical question in Off-topic (The wrong forum for this question) try this, a free utility to remap keyboard keys.

Afterwards, explore the many forums that make up Anandtech Forums.
