Hey guys, I spilled water over my tvs gold keyboard by mistake today and then took out all the keycaps in order to dry it. By mistake I took out the spacebar completely. I somehow managed to get it back in place but when I plugged it back in all the keys are working perfectly except the spacebar key. The click sound that I get from all other keys is also not audible from the spacebar anymore :(.
I researched online that it was possible to replace cherry mx blue keys but I couldn't find anywhere exactly how to and if it's even possible for this keyboard.
Can someone please help me out n tell me if it's possible to replace that one key with a new one or exchange it with some other key which I use very less from my keyboard as I don't feel like shelling out money to buy a new one just because of the one key. Also if not on my own, if it's possible to get it repaired in nehru place, delhi or not.
Thanks in advance.:). Please reply asap.

Usually there is a lock mechanism underneath the keys. And in case of a spacebar there maybe two such locks. Are you sure you placed them as it should?
Try again, might be that lock isn't correct.
