Genuine Dell OEM Latitude 3490 Palmrest Assembly
This is a genuine Dell OEM replacement palmrest assembly with integrated backlit keyboard for the Latitude 3490 laptop. It arrives new and matches the original factory part exactly. The assembly includes the keyboard bracket and palmrest but excludes the touchpad module. It is intended for technicians or owners repairing a damaged or worn upper chassis.
Thermals noise and power draw in normal use
As a passive mechanical assembly, this part draws no power and produces no heat or noise of its own. It simply replaces the existing palmrest and keyboard without changing the laptop's thermal profile or acoustic behaviour. Installation restores the original typing feel and backlight function without affecting system temperatures or fan operation.
Included parts and fitment notes
The package supplies the backlit keyboard, palmrest (P8YTM) and keyboard bracket (MMC2D) as a single unit. The touchpad module is not included and must be transferred from the old assembly or sourced separately. Part number C4N11 confirms compatibility with the Latitude 3490 only.

Questions about this item
How do I install the C4N11 palmrest assembly on a Latitude 3490, and which step is most often missed?
Remove the bottom cover, battery, and motherboard to access the keyboard screws. The step most often missed is transferring the original touchpad module, because this assembly does not come with one.
What maintenance or replacement will the C4N11 backlit keyboard need over time?
The keyboard is a sealed membrane unit; no user-serviceable parts exist inside. If keys become unresponsive or backlighting fails, the entire palmrest assembly must be replaced.
What is the first limitation that appears when typing heavily on the C4N11 backlit keyboard?
The membrane key switches have a fixed actuation force and travel distance. Under sustained heavy typing, the tactile feel cannot be adjusted and key fatigue is the limiting factor.
