Spacebar does not work on the left. A little white plastic piece fell out, I can send a picture.

[Ashton_-Le]

Hi, I have an Envy 13 2020 laptop. I tried to remove my spacebar keycap from the keyboard with a flat-head screwdriver, but a little piece of plastic fell out from the right side. Whenever I press the left side of the keyboard, it does go down, except the right side does not move, and it doesn't register. It is a bit like a seesaw, except the right side does not move, and just the left side does. I think the little metal bar underneath was unaligned, so all I want to know is how to remove the spacebar, and where do I put the little plastic piece? It reminds me of a little bridge, with a little 'support' in the middle.

Why did you do that?

You have a few choices.

You can replace the top enclosure/keyboard or you can live with your mistake.

The Maintenance & Service guide for parts and specification reference

You will need to provide the SKU/product number. You have only provided the generic model series identification and that is not specific enough.

When logged into Windows, hold down the Windows key and tap the R key once.

That will open the Windows run dialogue

Type in msinfo32 and press enter.

The ninth line is the SKU and the HP product number. Kindly post it in your next reply in your thread.

The System SKU/Product ID will enable us to determine the hardware configuration of your notebook.

Match the SKU/Product number with the ones in the list at the PartSurfer web document at the link below and click on it.

Look for the Keyboard-Internal section.  Copy the HP Part number and perform an online search for it to find a vendor.
