How To Fix Laptop Keyboard?

The spacebar has pretty much quit working entirely, and the backspace is almost as bad.

Can I fix this myself, or do I need to pay someone to reassemble the 'darn' thing or something?

 

Only you can answer that as it depends on your own skills and your confidence in them. Replacement keyboards are typically easy to find and with the right tools and strategic placement of tongue, are not too hard to replace. There likely are several tutorial videos showing how.

That said, I am confused. You say this is a laptop then show only the specs for a desktop PC.

 

I posted the specs for that desktop years ago, long before the laptop in question was even manufactured. I had forgotten all about ever even posting that information, and it has no connection to the case at hand.

 

It's not a post but your signature.

 

Right, and that's fine, except we still don't know anything about this laptop.
