    Ive been wondering if the 6214w black keyboard fits 6324 laptop? I mean i can't really see why it shouldnt since they are both 14,1" laptop and all but just wanna be sure.

    The reason you might think?

    Well I have both machines here at home, the 6214w is my girlfriends laptop and the quality of the keyboard in it is way better than the fragile thing keyboard you get with the 6324w. They look the same, but they are far from alike when typing.

    So here is the deal, shouldnt it be possible to buy a 6214w keyboard at be a happy typer on my rather new 6324 ? :)

    p.s. + id get this really strange look with white laptop + black keyboard.

    It works. It's the exact same keyboard except the color.

    Your keyboard has a metal underlay that might be bent. If you're not too adverse to opening up your computer (which you shouldn't be as you're asking to replace the keyboard), I would suggest unscrewing the keyboard. There are three screws on the back side, one of which is behind the memory lid. Unscrew these and you should be able to flip the keyboard over and bend it to get flatter. Small moves and try to lay it flat against something to see where it's bent.
