LS953EA# ABU MODEL/PRODUCT NUMBER

There should be a model number, if it is not on the back of the laptop, it will be in the battery Compartment. Gotta know which model.

I've bought laptop KBs for as little as 8 bucks from ebay or amazon, but you will have to get it installed by someone who knows how to do it, maybe a friends knows how.

Also, see if you can download Hiren's Boot CD from mu link below, boot into "Mini-XP" - See if the spacebar works while booted to Mini XP. If it works there, then it's an OS problem.

model number /product number LS953EA #ABU
XweAponx i cant understand what you are saying sorry

It will be something like: HP Pavilion g6-1096sa

For example, I did a Google search for keyboard for HP Pavilion g6-1096sa

First hit shows a keyboard for $20.98 here

Hi thankyou for the link i will check it out .

You're welcome. Just make sure you get one for the correct HP model. The one I posted a link to may not be the one you have.

yes i will i double check before i purchase one , thanks again

There may be cheaper ones, try ebay too.

If what I told you to do to check your keyboard was too hard, let me try to make it simpler:

There is a link to Hiren's Boot CD down below in my Signature Pic. The Download link is on the webpage that comes up, down at the bottom. Download that, and stick a CD into your drive. Then right click on the downloaded file and tell it to "Burn to Disk". Its about 600 megabytes, so it's not too large.

Then stick the burned CD into your laptop and it will boot to it, you will see an entry that says "Mini XP" use the arrow keys to scroll down to that and just hit ENTER. If the laptop does not boot to the disk, then press F12 while it is starting, and you should get a list of Boot Options, choose the CD/DVD drive. Some HP computers use F1 or escape instead of F12.

You can test your spacebar with that, just open Notepad and try typing, see if the spacebar works.
