Bowed Lenovo Yoga Keyboard

[steeds87]

I got my laptop recently and replaced the memory. In doing so, a black double sided adhesive which holds down 3/4 of the keyboard had to come off and is not useless (It only covered 3/4 of the keyboard). I replaced it with double sided tape and am considering other options (piece of plastic resistant to heat, etc). My core problem is the 1/4 of the keyboard that is not kept down by the adhesive is a little bowed, so I must have bent it up a little too much taking it off. Anyone know if it might be possible to bend a keyboard like this back? or would be if it would be okay for the air circulation in the laptop it put additional double sided tape/adhesive on the last 1/4 of the keyboard (keep in mind the memory is right under the bowed spot, but not the CPU fans)

Any help would be amazing, Thanks

Do not use reglar tape, it will be bad, it will either start to melt a bit, and the glue used on it is not meant for heat and will melt as well creating a smear. Are you sure you have all the clips and such in? If it got bent, the only way to see if you can undo it is take it off and try, or order a new one.

I have found some tapes/glues resistant to heat ~100-120F ... I but I guess its just a question of whether the adhesive"ness" of either would last... and I don't think Lenovo will just sell me one, I think my warranty still has to be intact... to ebay/craigslist I go.

But thanks for the advice, thankfully I haven't used it for more than 20mins at a time with the tape in it.
