1. the ribbon cable on the keyboard looks to the side of it, whereas in my inspiron 9300 the connector is at the bottom of the keyboard. Had to twist the cable a little to get it to the connector slot.
2. the keyboard didn't quite close down after doing this, because the ribbon cable wouldn't fold
3. It didn't work, anyway...probably a defective unit.

on the native keyboard the ribbon cable goes straight down, directly to the connector slot.

no instructions and most keys don't work.
seemed to be used also. some stains on the keys. i will be returning right away.

The keyboard looks like it fits in perfectly, which it does until you try to connect it. It seemed like a plastic connection piece at the end of the ribbon is missing. So it can't be used because you can't connect it to the board. Well at least not on a Dell Inspiron 9300.

Bought it to replace my Inspiron 9200's keyboard but there was no use to it. Although the size was a perfect fit the ribbon cable on the keyboard had a connector which wasn't needed (as someone said, on the native keyboard the ribbon cable goes straight down, directly to the connector slot) and even after carefully removing it without damaging the actual thing and making it go in place (which by the way had to be done by twisting the cable around) many keys wouldn't work.

Had to replace the keyboard on my Inspiron 6000 after I spilled liquid on my old one, and this replacement fit perfectly. Looking at them side by side they looked identical, so as far as I can tell it seems like the genuine thing. Very happy with it.
