M1330 Keyboard slightly bent

[PhoenixFx]

Has anyone noticed that M1330’s keyboard is not leveled? Mine is slightly curved and bent outward from the middle. It is not a simple matter of keyboard flex because it won’t go down when I push, like something is underneath. So I took it out. And I think I found the problem. Look at the attached picture (this is not a photo of my notebook, I took it from the service manual; my camera battery was dead so couldn’t take photos)



Anyways, the problem is that black wire. Even though there is a grove for it, there is a screw underneath pushing it up. That screw is already tight so I can’t do anything about that. Have any of you guys noticed this?

Try to flatted the wire, theres smaller wires on that big black one, so like flatted it out as much as you can. :|

You know what, a few days ago I tried to fix it by bending it slightly but it didn't work. Finally I punched it hardly and now it's perfect...believe it or not

Lol, well there you go, you really can't do anything else besides that or replacing/reorder a new one with dell, which really wouldn't be a differ, unless the bottom of your MB you can't see isn't place in it correctly 'causing it to be slightly higher.

Problem is not with the keyboard, doesn’t matter if I bend it the opposite direction. It cannot be properly installed on the notebook with that wire. I did try to flatten the wire with a decent amount of preasure , but didn't work. didn’t put too much force afraid of damaging something else. will try again. So, is this a common problem among M1330s ? Since alexzeon also noticed it…
