    Hi everyone, I got a m14x about a week ago and it's been great physically except for one thing, after just a few days of normal use the left side of the left shift key popped up and I haven't been able to properly set it. I was wondering if there was any way that this can be fixed without having to call Dell and probably have to get the whole keyboard replaced. I've included a photo below, it seems that the little plastic piece came out of the left side, but I haven't been able to get it back in. If any one has any advice it'd be appreciated :) Thanks!

    get dell out to fix it, I wouldnt attempt it when its just one it. Could be faulty, tampering with it could make it worse.

    I was afraid that what I'd end up having to do, but I guess it's the only option, I'll see to calling them tomorrow hopefully. Thanks for the help though :)
