M1530 Keyboard warping

I've exchanged once. The replacement unit that I just opened also has this bulge in the center of the keyboard. I've read here on this forum that it's caused by the WiFi antenna cables that aren't properly seated...and while I had originally thought about trying to seat the cables myself, I don't like the idea of taking apart a brand new notebook. So now I have to decide whether to exchange again, or just suck it up and ignore it. I think it's a purely cosmetic issue, the keys don't seem to touch the screen when it's closed. It's just very aggravating to have the sloppy workmanship laid right out there on such an expensive unit. It's a little baffling how stuff this obvious gets past QC.

Any chance of getting some feedback on what others are experiencing? If a lot of people are getting nice flat keyboards, then I may exchange once more. I would go with another notebook entirely, but I really like the 1530 aside from this issue.

 

I have the same bump in the middle and it slopes down to the right. When the tech came to replace my screen he brought another keyboard because I complained to tech support about it. When he took my keyboard out and set it on the table it was basically flat. He looked at all the cables and wires that run under the keyboard and everything was routed under the tabs correctly.

He put the new keyboard in to see if there was a difference but it sat in the laptop the same way. We decided it must be a design flaw, at least in mine. It's definitely not hitting the screen and it works fine so I'll just live with it. Other people that have seen my laptop don't notice unless I point it out.

 

It's not the keyboard, it's the cables routed underneath it combined with the top of the chassis actually flexing a bit.

I was able to get mine to lay flat by taking it apart myself and just ****ing with it.

 

I had a 1530 for about 2 weeks before I retured it and I couldnt stand looking at the keyboard for some reason. It just really annoyed me.
