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!

Afterwards, explore the many forums that make up Anandtech Forums.
I think he was following your advice . . . and THREE, so far on AT . . .

"I have looked inside the mechanics" so you poped the key off and checked the little rubber nipples?


"hit it real hard" spilled pop in it, or went a little wild with the pron sites?
