    So for my Studio XPS 13 laptop, the rubber tab on the left hand side of the keyboard (that props the screen from the keyboard when the lid is closed) is breaking off. I've tried all sorts of glue, nothing will hold it. Anyone have this problem and found a fix?

    My Studio XPS 13 is still under warranty...maybe perhaps someone knows of a part number so that I can ask for a replacement part? Im not going to bother if it's going to require me to send in the whole laptop. It's not too big of an issue, but if it can be fixed...why not.

    I should think that you could get a dell tec guy to come over to your house and replace the palm rest if needs be
