    Has anyone attempted to replace the palmrest/keyboard assembly on their S XPS 16? I've done keyboards on older Dell laptops but this seems a bit more involved. The metal trim on the palm rest is coming up so it would be nice to have it replaced, I'm just apprehensive about having some tech work on my computer...

    Just keep the repair restricted to the palm rest and watch the tech like a hawk to keep him on his toes.
