Damn laptop spacekeys!

They're bastards

So i took my spacebar off of my laptop to get some dog hair from underneath that duster wasnt up to getting, and then i go to place it back on and notice that it's ....wobbly. Grrr, is it supposed to be like this?

So i try it again, and notice there's one of those stamper bars. Annoying... so i try to get it into its metal holes on the motherboard-

no luck. then, the little plastic retainer comes unassembled, so i have to fiddle with it now.

It's still not fixed, has anyone else had issues with these fiddly little bastards?

You took off the spacebar!?! That never goes right!
Best bet, for future reference, is to remove the adjacent keys, and use a little thin paint brush to do the dirty work.

Always handy, those things..

Yeah i ended up raging on it since the clips broke and clawing the rest of the keys off - sharp little corners on those bastards... My hand hurts.

Ordered a new one, 12 dollar fix, nothing too steep but still... Oh well, the old keys were beginning to feel spongy.

You know, every time I see this entry in the Latest Items bit, I read - 'Damn laptop space monkeys!'. I don't know why that is.
