Hello,
This really works?
Cool, I'll have to try that whenever I have this space-bar
problem.
Thanks:
Paul

Something that may be temporary, but it works: Have a technician
bend
a piece of heavy piano wire and shape it so that it gives the
spacebar
a spring-like feeling. I did that with a computer keyboard and
it
worked very well. But it has to be fairly heavy piano wire.
HTH.

Hello Maurice,
I know what spring you are talking about. Wouldn't it feel odd
when
pressing the spacebar, as though it is sticking or something? I
will have
someone see how it looks when she is pressing the spacebar.
Thank You,
Sharon

Hi Sharon,
The Space bar on all models has a U shaped wire located under
the
Space Bar
cap that when correctly in place ensures that the key goes down
no
matter
what part of the key cap is pressed. I will refer to this as
the "U
Bar".
I would suspect that this bar is not correctly located and if
your
student
hits the Space bar cap at either end, rather than the centre
portion, it is
not registering as a key press.
You may need someone with some sight to take a look at the key
when
it is
pressed first at the left most end and then at the right most
end.
It the U Bar is correctly in place the key cap will depress in a
parallel
manner. If the U Bar is misplaced the cap will go down at the
end
it is
being pressed and "pop-up" at the other end.
Regards
Maurice

Subject: [Braillenote] Spacebar on Notetaker Not Working
Hello,
I have a student using a QWERTY Braille Note M. Power running
Keysoft
7.5
Build 29 and she has mentioned that her spacebar physically
operates
okay,
but it does not always place a space when she presses the
spacebar
in a
document. Has anyone else experienced this issue? I did
suggest that
maybe, unknowingly, she was pressing one of the function keys as
she
was
pressing the spacebar. She would not hear the bong since she
types
her
notes with the speech turned off. Anyone's assistance would be
greatly
appreciated to solve this mystery.
Sharon
