    Got this keyboard from my GF:

    and love the looks of it. Took it apart to clean out, but I couldn't put it back together. The keyboard has 3 layers to it: the back plastic piece, a metal piece which I guess is for support, and then the actual rubbery keyboard pieces.

    The problem is that the metal piece is not sitting flush so I can't close up the laptop. the part that is bothering it is this(the white part):

    Anyone else have this keyboard or does anyone have any ideas? Been racking my brain for around 4 hours just trying to put it together so I can pwn at Starcraft 2 :(

    I have the Bluetooth version of that, but IDK how the heck it goes back together. Awesome keyboard though! I love mine, even though it does SUCK batteries like it's nobody's business.

    Is there any way you could possibly remove the back and take pictures for me? Just the plastic back cover nothing else
