I have just replace a fautly keyboard on my ASUS UX303L notebook computer. After my keyboard install and before I refitted the rear section of the case I tried the computer and it worked fine. After completion of the assembly I took the computer back inside the house ( I work on things in my caravan so I can leave everything lying around and know they won't be disturbed) and when I started it all "seemed" fine, but then I discovered the left and right mouse clickers did not operate, but the mouse pad did work, so I could move the arrow around. Since then I have pulled it apart a lot of times, done different things and EVENTUALLY I have discovered that when I insert and tightened one of the small screws that attach the rear cover near the mouse pad, the left/right clickers don't work again. When I remove this screw things work again. My deduction is that the black rubber "whatever" that is nearby must touch the rear case when I tighten the screw and that causes the problem. Sure I can leave that screw out, but I don't want to do that so I will insert a photo with a red circle around the part and I would like to know what it is and what it does. I had to unstick this part from the old keyboard and restick it on to the new keyboard and perhaps it is not sticking/fitting as flush as it originally did, who knows? Anyway I would be very pleased if someone could identify the part for me. Here is the URL for my photo. Brian DJ

Just an reminder the image gives us error 404.

Are you sure you're not over tightened the screw?

Could you compare the original and replacement? usually what I find for phones when i make the screen replacement that it does not sit flush within the body of the phone,
