Do any of you PC hardware repair people out there have any tips on how
to re-install the space bar on an IBM PC keyboard. I realize that this
sounds like a very simple task, but it turns out to be quite difficult
to hook the little plastic tabs on the key cap under the horizontal bar
that is meant to keep the key level when it is pushed on one end. Anyone
who has worked on the original PC keyboards should know what I mean. Is
there a trick to this that I am missing? When you just pop on the cap,
the little plastic hooks just push down the metal bar rather then hooking
under it as it should. Any tips/tricks/suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.
