    hi

    My space bar is not working on the right hand side (HP Pavilion DV6 6053ea).

    I removed the screw on the back of the laptop and then took out the keyboard blew away the dust but no luck.. I didn't take the dis-assembly any further. I can't figure out whats wrong with it. The space bar is still like new but when I use the right hand side with my thumb it doesn't work and takes a longer pressure.

    What are my options ?

    I took the keyboard out but cannot get at the space bar key. There are two screws on the back of the keyboard but don't hold the keyboard together when I take them off ? I was quoted a new keyboard at €30 but can the key itself be fixed ?
