Title: Noppoo Choc Mini Spacebar Noisy ...
Post by: ilyama on Fri, 08 June 2012, 06:46:54

Hello guys

I've got a noppoo choc mini and I've got an issue with the spacebar...

It's really noisy and it's make me crazy ... It happened only on the right side of the spacebar ...

First issue, I can't remove the spacebar, I dont know how to do ... I can push out the caps but I can remove it to the stabiliser ...

Second issue, what can I do ?

I know I have to put WD 40 on the caps and on the stabiliszer but If I can"t remove completly the space bar key ...

How do you remove completlly the spacebar of a noppoo choc mini ?


Thanks for your help, have a nice day and sorry for my english !

Oh dear god. Don't do this. As the for the spacebar issue there are several threads on this around here. I believe fixing it involves putting some tape onto the stabilizers. If you can't figure out how to remove the space there are also tons of threads/pictures/youtube videos on that. Do some searching brochacho

Mine too makes a noise but I don't even notice it anymore.  I actually don't mind the noise.  As for removing the spacebar, once you pop it off you have to remove the metal hinges that are holding it in place.  There are plenty of pictures you should be able to find.  You can also check it out yourself once you pop off the spacebar and take a peek.

Take off the keys next to the spacebar. Then using your index fingers, lift up the left and right sides of the spacebar until you feel/hear it being released from the switch. Then slide the spacebar to the left, and lift the right side of the spacebar up until you get the stabilizer out, then just pull the spacebar out to the left.
