Issue

Pressing the right side of keyboard SPACEBAR may fail to insert a space on Portege Z830 units with the Fujitsu keyboard (G83C000BZ3US)

To duplicate the issue.  Open Notepad.exe in Windows, position the cursor on the document and press and/or hold down the SPACEBAR on the lower right corner. No movement of the cursor in application Notepad.exe will be experienced, no space character in any application or data field will be registered.

Resolution

This issie has been fixed by a change to the  Fujitsu keyboard.  The modified keyboards where cut into Portege Z830 production in mid February 2012.  The improved Key Boards manufacturing start with KB serial number 0050355..
