is this something I can fix? (framework 16)
I recently got my framework 16 and took off my trackpad to inspect what could be causing it to stick up and saw this. Compared to the other side, the plastic here doesn't look straight and plastic is deformed by the metal. Is this something fixable or would I need to buy a new midplate?
You're viewing a single thread.
@eyecreate looks to have slipped off the pin on right. Does it not push up back over it?
I can try again, but it wasn't an easy push and I didn't want to break it.
Instead of pushing the bulk of the plastic, try putting a precision flathead screw driver in between the plastic and the rivet. Gradually work the screwdriver around the rivet toward the top of the picture. Keeping the end of the driver under the lip of the rivet, gently tilt the driver to push the plastic down into the gap.
@eyecreate hmm. Asked official Framework forum?
Yeah, that's what I should do.
maybe there's adhesive under the magnets
