    I am having a flex on right side of the keyboard of my M1330. It starts with keys :u, h and b. I can feel a very slight bulge on the right side of the keyboard. Any solution for this ? Is it a build issue ? Should I go for a replacement ?

    You can go for a replacement, but you may get the same problem or more all over again. The easiest option is to remove the keyboard and reseat the wireless antenna. It's usually not installed correctly and causes the keyboard bulge.

    I had a keyboard flex on my 1720 so i just removed the keyboard and it was a small cable sticking up, i just tucked it back in and replaced the keyboard and it's fine now. I got the info for removing the keyboard from the computer manual which i found on Dells website.
