Space Bar extra advances. I've cleaned the keyboard, I've completed the reset steps and it is still having this issue. There is no Apple store near me..... any suggestions

See if your laptop qualifies for this free Apple keyboard repair program:

If there are no Apple Stores are there any Apple Authorized Service Providers in your region?


In some regions it may be possible to mail the laptop to Apple for the repair. Click the "Get Support" link at the upper right of this page to see the options for your region and/or to contact Apple for the best option for you in your region.


FYI, here is the current list of the publicly acknowledged free repair programs for various Apple products (some products have multiple programs):

Edit: Here is an Apple article for cleaning the keyboard, but make sure to keep the can of compressed air completely upright or you can damage the laptop with the cold wet propellant.
