[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] How to fix a 2000 Keyboard

I had this keyboard.  We were friends.  It had a click I could really enjoy.
Then--the space bar went.  Nothing else.  Just the space bar.  I called a 
local dealer.  The official fix:  new keyboard.  What am I gonna do with
no space bar?  I bought a new one.  Fine.  Think is, this new keyboard is
the newer rubberier kind.  Yeah.  I'm use to it by now, but I miss my old
one.  My question:

How does one troubleshoot the keyboard?

The key seems physically okay, is there a chip directly responsible for
polling the space bar?  This is the ONLY key that doesn't work...  I
refuse to do a software remap, 'cuz I LIKE the spce bar down there.

If any hardware GURUS have any suggestions, or can point me towards a
"Troubleshooting" book, I'd be real appreciative-like.

                                  Thanks,
                                    Mitch
