    Hi Guys,


    Everything seemed to be ok when i ordered it, now the keyboard rises in the middle, i have opened it up and was quite surprised to see it held down by double sided stickey tape!

    sigh has anyone else had this, is it just a case of more sticky tape to hold it down or has someone come up with a better solution?

    Pete

    stickey tape,OMG! what next.
    im not sure about the 17 but a few people with the m15x had problems. there should be clips that hold it in place,i wonder if some of these are broken and instead of replacing the whole keyboard they just used tape.

    ther was a post with pictures on here ages ago so if anyone else can point Pete in the right direction.
