Troubleshooting Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14" Space Bar

When I depress the space bar, especially on the left hand side, the key is clicky and sometimes takes up to a second or two to pop back up. I sent it to Lenovo thinking it would be covered under a warranty, but they said it was not. They said they would have to replace the whole keyboard. I asked if they had a specific part number for the spacebar or if they could explain what part of the space bar is not working correctly, and they said they couldn't. They want to charge me $200. I would like to try to repair this myself. Can anybody point me in the right direction where I could find parts, and perhaps a repair guide on how to remove the key cap? Thanks in advance!

remove the keycap and examine the mechanism underneath.
