What was the MS Word connection?

Things I'd try:
- turning laptop upside down and shaking to see if paperclips, food crumbs,
illegal immigrants etc fall out
- try seeing if keyboard part is fairly easily lifted up and out (check
with laptop handbook/PDF) and check connections (but not if this would void
any warranty)
- open Device Manager (Start > Run > devmgmt.msc); if keyboard has a
separate entry, right-click and Uninstall it, then reboot and let it be
re-discovered.

Did you do or try anything that seemed to stop the blue screens? If you get
any more blue screens, be sure to write down the messages this time:
"...mentioned BIOS issue, something about turning it off, that maybe
something was corrupted..." isn't really precise enough to give us a
direction to look in! And see if any of the Event Logs has any relevant
entries relating to the time when you *were* getting these blue screens
regularly, if they go back far enough.

Are you posting from a different machine than to the other group,
where--you--had--to--type--like--this, or has your spacebar started working
now?
