    Well guys...it is not big deal...
    But my Dell Studio has little issue...
    On the right end of the spacebar (Space Key) has something wrong.
    So when I click my spacebar especially near to its right end It clicks very loudly.
    Can I safety remove spacebar and fix it by myself?
    thank you.

    I'm facing this problem too. Dell has changed the keyboard once but the problem still persists. Feel like asking Dell to replace the keyboard again.

    First thank you for the answer.
    I have good connection with my Dell Support Guy.I have his Email too...
    I don't want to disturb him too often, because I had my MOBO and WireLess card replaced because "crackling sound".
    "Crackling sound" problem was fixed later with Driver.
    So I just don't want to ask too much from Dell, but if the problem persist and irritating me too often, I will ask them for replacement.

    Stangly ps89 if the problem is not in the keyboad , where is it?
    Do you have some way to fix the problem by myself? I guess it is something little or some weak connection but...

    The problems lies with the keyboard. This is my second keyboard already. The first one had this problem so I asked Dell to change it. Now this one is also giving me the same problem.

    I had the same problem when I got the laptop, but after heavy use the noise goes away.

    AnthemAVM: thank you for your answer.
    You mean - it will auto-fix itself with the time?
    Like the key (spacebar) will adapt better to its place?

    I was going to have my keyboard replaced, but the noise went away by itself.

    I will wait more time.
    I had my computer since November 2008!
    Except crackling sound (MOBO and WireLess Card replaced) everything other is fine.
    I noticed this problem about week or two ago, and it is not on every click.
    May be 50/50!
    Hope my problem will go away as your, because I don't have nerves and time for discussions with Dell.
    I doubt they will simple replace the keyboard with one call "Hello.My spacebar is loud.Can you please replace/fix it?"!
    Thank you for the information AnthemAVM
