Windows 10: My W and Space Bar isnt working on my keyboard, if i remove the keycaps, it still doesnt...

How to fix this?

Space bar not working

My space bar is not working. The only way it works is if I also hold the "Shift" key (and in some programs the "CTRL" key). On-Screen space bar doesn't work either.

I have:

• tried deleting the keyboard driver and reinstalling it.
• tried 3 different physical keyboards and the on-screen keyboard.
• disabled all usability controls. Sticky Keys, Filters, etc.
• tried changing my keyboard layout to another language

I'm at a loss. I feel like the kids likely hit some combination of keys to disable it accidentally, but I haven't had any luck Googling the issue. Please Help!!!

I'm using Win 10.

 

Microsoft Wireless Comfort Keyboard 5000 - keycap replacement, manual, using on different computers

Hi, several questions and thanks in advance for replies:

I have 2 wireless keyboard 5000, purchased at the same time for Windows 7.

Upgraded installed the wireless keyboard on Vista, upgraded Vista to Windows 10. The keyboard works fine. Call this computer D for Dell desktop.

Installed 2nd wireless on Windows 8.1, upgraded to Windows 10. The keyboard works fine. Call this computer L for Lenovo laptop.

(1) I want to switch the wireless keyboards from D to L because D's wireless keyboard key cap letters are worn out and D is the computer I use a lot. Why won't L wireless keyboard work with D's installed driver? Must I uninstall the SW for D and L then
using the same driver CD re-install on both so I can use D's keyboard on L laptop and L's keyboard on D desktop?

(2) How does one remove the worn keycaps and replace them with good keycaps for the 5000? I assume later model keycaps may not work?

(3) Is there a DYI technique to replace the worn print of the keycap as a last resort.
