Hi, I could use some help.

While replacing the HDD of this laptop I accidentally ripped the flex cable from the motherboard. Could someone be so kind and take a picture or tell me how the small black thing is inserted into the white connector at the motherboard? Here's a picture of what I mean: https://www.dropbox.com/s/tsyi5y3c44...617_205906.jpg.

not sure if this helps but this is the only picture I have, I need to check if I have a higher res on my camera itself

I'm getting to the end of a 90-day returns policy on my NP530U3B-A01UK, and can't decide what to do. I've been very pleased with the overall performance and ergonomics of the laptop, but there are a few build quality issues which make me worry.

The worst one is that the edge between the top of the screen and the bezel is quite sharp, and within a month of usage it scratched a line across the middle of the touchpad buttons. This seems like a ridiculous problem, and merely closing the laptop shouldn't scratch away paint on the inside.

Second, the keys rub on the screen and leave marks. I guess this is related to the above, but you have to wonder why they didn't just add in 1 or 2 mm of space to stop this.

Lastly, the touchpad drivers disable the touchpad when a key is held down - which makes any gaming impossible without a USB mouse (being able to hold down W and still use the mouse is essential!).

Has anyone else experienced these issues or is mine a one-off? If these problems are common, what is the best alternative?
