1. Hi,

   I’m sorry to hear about the challenges you’re facing with your Inspiron 5379 keyboard. Replacing specific components like the latch can be tricky, but here are some steps you can consider:

   • Check Dell’s Official Parts Store: Visit the Dell Parts & Upgrades website. You can search by your model number and see if the replacement latch or keyboard assembly is available for order.
   • Explore Authorized Service Providers: Even if you’re aiming to handle repairs yourself, consulting with a Dell authorized service provider can give you confirmation on the part’s compatibility and availability.
   • Use Online Marketplaces: Websites like eBay or Amazon often have replacement laptop parts, including keyboard ribbons and latches. Make sure to verify the part matches your specific model (Inspiron 5379).
   • Assess Repair Guides: If you decide to replace the latch yourself, look for detailed disassembly guides and videos specific to the Inspiron 5379. Sites like iFixit can be very helpful.

   Since the latch is a small and delicate component, if you’re uncomfortable performing the repair yourself, seeking assistance from a professional might save you time and prevent further damage—sometimes, the cost can be reasonable,
