    I have an Acer Aspire AS5251 notebook (great budget notebook when Amazon had it on sale), but the spacebar is pretty much shot due to someone in my house being bad with laptops (food and such). I'm trying to find a replacement keyboard but haven't been able to. Does anyone know of a good place to find one?

    I don't know where you are, so this may not be entirely helpful, but a quick google search gave me this.

    I believe I managed to fix it, though the link above is missing whatever is supposed to be inbetween www..com ;)

    Thanks for your time though!

    Sorry about that, cut and paste must have failed somehow. I actually just did a google search for "Acer Aspire AS5251 keyboard" (without quotes), and I think it was one of the top 4 entries. Yes, I think it was the .com website here.

    Edit - Odd, there seems to be some sort of filter on that name, probably because it's too much like 'leetspeak' or something like that. Laptop Z.com (no space).
