    Hey everyone,
    I just got my laptop the other day and everything runs well including the loud fan but I my space bar squeaks on every press which is very annoying as I'm typing this. I will call Dell on Monday but need advise as to weather I should have them replace the laptop or send me a keyboard. I'm worried that if I send in my laptop they will give me some refurbished one but I'm assuming the 21 return policy will start over or if they send me a new keyboard and I'm sure it will take like 7-10 days to get here it will not give me enough time to test out everything, let alone if I mess something up while trying to change it. What do you think is the best method as I just got this the other day.
    Thank you for your time.
    Mark

    It happen to every M14x keyboard, even mine, I'd suggest you call Dell and have them replace it, but chance of it is squeaky is high. Good luck on that.
