Loose panel above the keyboard, anyone have that?

[Michael1980]

The panel which below the power and hard drive lights and north east of the power switch is slightly loose, ie I can press on it and it moves a fair bit?

Anyone else have this on their T42?

Must be a 14" thing.
I have searched and found at least one other person who has the same problem. More people must have it and not be aware, because I bought my laptop in Autumn and today was the first time I have ever touched the panel in question.

so why are you pressing on that part? If you look just left of the wireless light, there is a round cover, under it is a screw, try tightening it.

Good question, I don't know why I am pressing on it.
Regarding the screw, that is on the screen bezel, while the panel in question is on the actual laptop (above the prtsc, numlock and pause). I don't think tightening that will have an effect, if I undestand correctly.

My 14" T42p has the same loose panel, to the right of the power button.

Personally I don't consider it enough of an issue to bother sending the computer in for service.

My last 14" T42 did not have the lose panel, but otherwise was not as sturdy as this one.
