Symptoms

You may find that when you attempt to use the folio keyboard in angled mode, the keyboard does not magnetically attach to the tablet.

The Latitude 7320 and 7350 detachable folio keyboard can be used in several ways. The keyboard can be used with the bottom flat on the surface or can be tilted at the back by lifting and attaching to the system face magnetically which angles the keyboard for more comfortable typing. With new systems and keyboards, you may find that the keyboard does not remain attached to the tablet in angled mode.

Cause

The detachable folio keyboard assemblies use "glue" to bond all parts including the fabric. The strong FPC leather design sometimes means it can be hard to bend to attach the keyboard, and it will not remain magnetically attached to the tablet screen.Latitude 7350 and Detachable Folio Keyboard Tilted Example
