Spacebar not working
I have a dell latitude e6410 and initially the keys 'n', 'b', spacebar and arrow keys weren't working. I have now replaced my keyboard and all other keys are working except the spacebar I now feel like it could be more than a hardware issue.
Any help on how to fix this?

LombeMervyn,
What OS is installed?
So when you find your spacebar not function, the first quick fix you can try is to check the Sticky Keys. Press Windows key + I key together to open Settings Window. Then scroll down to find and click Ease of Access. Spacebar not working error is probably due to its driver issues.

Check Sticky Keys feature
Sticky Keys feature enables you press one key at a time for keyboard shortcuts. As a lot users reported, disable Sticky Keys feature help them save their spacebar back to life. So when you find your spacebar not function, the first quick fix you can try is to check the Sticky Keys.
1) Press Windows key + I key together to open Settings Window.
Then scroll down to find and click Ease of Access.
Click Keyboard on the left pane. Then check the icon of Sticky Keys. If it’s on, set it to be off.
If after making sure the Sticky Keys feature is disabled, you still cannot use your spacebar, try other methods below. Spacebar not working error is probably due to its driver issues
Reinstallation of a previous version of the keyboard driver
Step 1: Press the Windows key and the alphabet ‘X’ together for opening the menu of Quick Access. After that, click on the option Device Manager for opening it.
Step 2: You will see Keyboards option on the pop-up Device Manager window and you should expand it by clicking on it. You should choose Properties by using the right-click button on the Keyboard option. Jarvee VPS
Step 3: After choosing the option Driver on the top array of options, click on the option Roll Back Driver.
A fresh installation of keyboard driver
Step 1: At first, you should open Device Manager window by following step 1 and step 2 of Procedure 2 and make the location of keyboard driver.
Step 2: With the help of right-click on Keyboard driver, you will choose Uninstalldevice.
Step 3: For the reinstallation of keyboard driver, you will have to reboot Windows.
Regards,
Adrian

I have same problem, Inspiron 5482.
After laptop sleep or hibernate, keys: space bar, 'b', 'n', left arrow, down arrow don't working for a while.
Is it a software problem?

I am experiencing this same problem with my G15 5515. Same keys too, so probably the same cause.
Only I find that with the spacebar specifically, if I keep holding it for a while, it eventually works for a few moments.
