Just a couple of hours ago, my Champ Manager game, which I had not saved recently, went. Not the actual game, but I was playing it, clicked on 'Continue Game,' looked at TV for a second and then turned back, to find it gone. Just my desktop.

I screamed in annoyance, and smashed the keyboard several times.

Unfortunately, I found out later from by brother that the spacebar was broken, and you had to press it on the left hand side to get it to work. My father, who uses this PC quite a lot (ie. when I'm not on it) heard about this but did not survey the damage. He gave me a stern telling off, and said for my sake he hopes it wasn't too bad.

So I went to my Cell Group, came back just a few minutes ago and found myself typing with only the occasional space between words. This was unfortunate.

So, in a desperate attempt I pressed down onto the working side, and to my surprise heard a loud 'click.' Now, I'd either broken the spacebar completely, or fixed it.

I slowly pushed my finger down onto the supposedly broken side...and it worked!! It works fine!!

It may not be an amazing feat for some of you, but it is for me. Hell, I struggle to open lollipops, so what do you expect?

Yep, it just so happens I'm not the best sort of person at fixing things, so this was quite an acheivement for me.

So...no offence and all 'nut', do you have a life?

He he I can just imagine you smashing the keyboard and screaming.
It's a wonder you never broke it while you smashed it. :)

Lol. Well you fixed it now and everything is peachy. I've had incidents on the school computers with a lot of the things screwing up, including the return key and the space bar. I had to just switch computers because one of them didn't have the net! Damn down-trodden school computers :p I once got a floppy disk stuck in my A Drive, due to a half-wit, half-thinking action of my own. It was broken, but I needed to use it and it got stuck. Luckily, we were eventually able to tug it out and no damage was done to the A Drive itself. Another funny incident was when my Amiga 1000 packed up. We bought it brand new and we took it apart, only to find a Hulk Hogan sticker in the disk drive. That sticker was not ours and we have no idea how it got in there.

the space bar has a metal rod in most keyboard so it doesn't dip one side as the actual button part is in the middle.

i used to get stressed with my comp and take it out on the keyboard oh sorry i still do :)

if you look at the keyboard it has small cracks by the little feet. i've hit it so hard sometimes that keys have come out and i've had to search the floor for them :)


they should give a free punch bag with bil gates on with every windows OS so to take the anger away from the poor old keyboard.

the [ key on my keyboard is pretty knackered. Takes quite some effort to get it to register.

However, it's not the end of the world.
