I am struggling with this key on a Thinkpad T580 and this keyboard looks exactly like what I am dealing with for this model. Thank you for the very clear explanation and you're pro at this! The only thing I'd mention is that I try to use plastic tools instead of metal, when prying up plastic parts, there is less chance of denting the part.

Fantastic video! Absolute lifesaver! An ant ran under my space key, and I went after it by hooking the key with my fingernail and pulling it up. I ended up with one key and four plastic pieces. Luckily nothing broke. Thanks to the close-ups in your video, I was able to put all the pieces together and clip the key back in. Thanks so much!

For so many things I strive to reach perfection, often resulting in a worse product. I think I've learnt my lesson.

My entire keyboard is defective except for when I use an external keyboard to type with. Could you tell me what's wrong with my laptop? I have an R14, or an R5-471T laptop and the keys malfunction. Previously a battery had expanded inside the laptop and had to be replaced immediately. The keyboard has been malfunctioning since I first obtained this laptop and frequently ceases altogether when I use it. The rest of the laptop, such as the screen and mouse, will resume normal function. I got this laptop when it was released in 2015. I have a new keyboard, but picking out keys and replacing them does not work. There are no other videos on KZitem regarding my problem.

If your Key Cap is not clicking down in place correctly, it is most likely due to the Retainer Clip not being properly installed or damaged. Remove the Cap and inspect for damage or that its not laying down flush and properly snapped in itself. Compare to another Clip if needed by removing another Cap.

So I just had another crack at it and managed to fix it right this time. More feedback for you: your video does not address the orientation or assembly of the plastic hinge pieces. This is ultra-critical. If you take them apart and they aren't facing the right way or they're upside down, or the space bar is upside down, nothing will work! You have to pay close attention to all axes of orientation here. The hinge piece won't hinge if it's facing the wrong way. It won't reattach to the space bar if something's upside down. And there are some delicate pivot pieces on the small hinge that will break easily. So yeah, this key was a challenge for me. I should've gone looking for a service manual.

Is the key cap itself bent or is there an issue under the key cap that causing it to bend up? If the key cap is bent, you would have to retrain it to not bend or replace it. If something underneath is causing it to bend, its most likely caused by one of the retainer clips not being installed properly or one of the stabilizer bars out of place

@@lirios7858 If your Key Cap is not clicking down in place correctly, it is most likely due to the Retainer Clip not being properly installed or damaged. Remove the Cap and inspect for damage or that its not laying down flush and properly snapped in itself. Compare to another Clip if needed by removing another Cap.

If the space bar isnt moving, then it sounds either not installed correctly or damaged. I would disassemble the key and inspect for damage. If none if found, try to reassemble as seen here

If your Key Cap is not clicking down in place correctly, it is most likely due to the Retainer Clip not being properly installed or damaged. Remove the Cap and inspect for damage or that its not laying down flush and properly snapped in itself. Compare to another Clip if needed by removing another Cap.

The Retainer Clip came up, still attached to the Key Cap? Because they key can usually not be reinstalled with the Retainer Clip and the Key Cap still attached to each other, you would have to separate them as seen here, using a small flat pry tool.
