Hello. I'm interested in installing the keyboard from the Latitude D430 model into an XPS M1210 notebook. My reason for wanting to do this is that the XPS M1210 keyboard has stiffer keys than the D430, requiring greater effort when typing. 

In attempting to make this happen, I found that while the ribbon connectors appear the same, the size of the plastic at the end is different. I was able to boot the XPS M1210 with the D430's keyboard, but did not feel that I made a solid connection. The letters appearing on the screen were other than what was typed. 

I would appreciate it if someone from Dell could get back to me on this and let me know if it is possible to install the D430 keyboard into a XPS M1210. The machines are out of warranty, leaving me unconcerned on the impact this change might have on a warranty. 

I am merely interested in understanding whether it is technically possible. Thank you!
