Get a new laptop keyboard. They don't sell the individual components of the keyboard assembly, just the entire assembly.

bzzzz. wrong. i got a new spacebar for my laptop from dell. i put stepper motors on it and made an auto-spacebar pusher for MMOs that kick you off when you are AFK for 15 minutes. they sent it to me at the cost of shipping.

i really am. i am one of those guys you hear about that sold accounts on everquest. ive done it in a few games actually, but most notably in EQ. city of heroes kicked you off after 20 minutes of being AFK, and that was annoying, so i made my space-o-matic (thats what i called it) that i described above to keep me logged in. i had 6 accounts, but i could only play 5 at once and i had to leave my laptop in a different room, so i frequently forgot to go tap the space bar every 15 minutes.
