This happened to my wife's macbook pro spacebar, $600 fix. It happens with mine every so often too, but fingers crossed it has 'fixed' itself each time.

- tomduncalf 8y agoYeah, mine has fixed itself when this happened before, but the spacebar issue seems more persistent. Hoping some compressed air can fix it - having to migrate to another machine for the duration of the repair would really annoy me, but I do sometimes need to work without an external keyboard (my preferred option).
- senorjazz 8y ago$600! ouch. Had a similar problem (faulty key) with my dell precision laptop. $30 new keyboard, few screws out, replace and back up and running. The laptop is big, heavy and ugly. But I cannot have it out of action so every part being replaceable was a huge plus. In fact it is so big heavy and ugly that when I drop it on the floor, the floor dents :)
- soperj 8y agoYou can easy switch out any thinkpad keyboard, and they're not big or heavy. Ugly is in the eye of the beholder, that being said, it's a laptop, not a purse.
