o, customer gave me this, keyboard had issues with keys and cleaning them did not seem to fix them, so replaced keyboard
On reassembly, MHF4 connectors on wifi antenna were warped, bent up wifi card connectors (didn't see until did a high magnification on them)
Ordered new a antenna, wifi card. Went to replace it and all the tabs where the screen cable/antenna holder broke when I was trying ti take it apart (non marring pry tool)
I noticed the keyboard had a copper sheet. Further looking into this, it's because how hot this thing ran (nvidia gpu and intel i5), dell didn't want the heat to get too much into the keyboard
could the problem with the tabs, not only on the holder, but a few when I first took apart the bottom, be because of how hot this thing got over so many years caused the shell to get soft enough to bond? Especially where the wires are hidden, that is an even softer plastic, This thing is a decade+ old. Nvidia runs hot, plus a high enough i5 (4th gen I think), constant heat could have caused the keyboard issues as well? Over time heat/cold cycles?
what is a good expoxy to use to get this carefully back together. Need to be precise, with little cleanup
