So I accidentally spilled a bit of liquid on my laptop’s keyboard, and I wiped it as best as I could, but I guess some of it got under the keys because a few of the keys felt “sticky” while typing, like it had a gelly sort of feel when I pressed on them to type. The spacebar was one of those keys, so I popped out the sticky keys to clean them, and the regular square keys went back in just fine.
However, the spacebar won’t go back in right. The part beneath that actually sends the signal the computer what key you’re using still works, it’s just that the spacebar goes in loose/crooked somewhat because it just won’t lay flat. When I put it in, I can hear the click of the spacebar’s slots going back in, and upon scrutinizing the spacebar key, there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with it. I have no idea if I’m somehow putting it in incorrectly, though. I’ve attached pictures if it helps. My laptop is a Surface Laptop 7th edition if that makes a difference.
