Genuine Dell OEM Keyboard Backlight Cable

This is a genuine Dell OEM ribbon cable designed specifically for the Alienware m15 R2 laptop. It restores the keyboard backlight function when the original cable is damaged or disconnected. The part number is 2PWRW and it matches alternative numbers EDQ51_KB_BL_FPC, DA300017W10, and LF-H356P. Buyers must verify their specific part number before ordering because these systems shipped with different keyboard connection types.

Reliable Signal Transmission Under Daily Use

The flexible printed circuit maintains a stable electrical connection between the motherboard and the keyboard backlight assembly during regular operation. It is engineered to handle the constant flexing that occurs when the laptop lid is opened and closed repeatedly. As a direct OEM replacement, it delivers the same consistent illumination performance as the factory-installed component without signal degradation over time.

Slim Ribbon Design for Precise Internal Fit

The thin ribbon cable construction allows it to route cleanly within the tight confines of the Alienware m15 R2 chassis. Its specific connector layout matches the original motherboard and keyboard interfaces exactly, ensuring a secure fit without adapters. Installers should take care when seating the connectors to avoid bending the delicate contacts during the replacement process.

Questions about this item

Will the 2PWRW ribbon cable draw extra power or generate noticeable heat during long sessions?

The backlight ribbon cable is a passive flex circuit that carries only the keyboard illumination current, so it adds no measurable power draw or heat to the Alienware m15 R2.

What existing component must match the 2PWRW part number for the cable to connect correctly?

The keyboard assembly in your Alienware m15 R2 must use the same 2PWRW or EDQ51_KB_BL_FPC part number, because Dell shipped this model with multiple keyboard connector variants.

Can I reuse the original keyboard backlight cable from an older Alienware 15 when installing this 2PWRW cable?

No, the 2PWRW cable is specific to the m15 R2 chassis and its keyboard connector layout; older Alienware 15 cables use different part numbers and will not fit.
