Lijkt mij nochtans een laptop. 😉
To fix a non-working spacebar on your Lenovo Yoga 500,
first try physical cleaning of the spacebar with compressed air, then check for software issues like sticky keys, outdated drivers, or malware by updating Windows and running a diagnostic scan. If the problem persists, test the keyboard with an external keyboard or by connecting it to another computer to determine if the issue is hardware-related.
Software Troubleshooting
Restart your laptop: A simple restart can resolve temporary software bugs.
Check keyboard settings: Go to Ease of Access>> settings and ensure that sticky keys, filter keys, or other features that might interfere with typing are turned off.
Update keyboard drivers: Open Device Manager and update your keyboard driver to the latest version, or try uninstalling and then reinstalling the keyboard.
Scan for malware: Run a thorough malware scan to rule out any malicious software affecting your keyboard.
Update your operating system: Ensure your Windows OS is up to date, as this can resolve compatibility issues.
Hardware Troubleshooting
Clean the keyboard: Gently remove the spacebar keycap and clean the area underneath it with compressed air or a soft brush to remove dust or debris.
Perform static discharge: Turn off the device, remove all cables, hold the power button for 60 seconds to discharge static, then reattach cables.
Use an external keyboard: Connect a USB keyboard to your laptop and see if the spacebar works. If the external keyboard functions correctly, it indicates a problem with your laptop's built-in keyboard.
Run a diagnostic scan: Visit the Lenovo support site to run a diagnostic scan on your laptop, which can help identify hardware problems.
If the issue continues
If these steps don't resolve the problem, it's likely a hardware issue, and you may need to contact Lenovo support for further assistance or professional repair.
