T60's Most Common Defect?

Well, we just got in a new shipment and all of them have the issue. So, maybe we just receive 150 bad laptops.

My new T60 and Advanced Dock have this problem - if you drop in the ThinkPad directly it simply shuts down.

I've called Lenovo, they're aware of the issue, and are sending me the rubber sleeves to fix the problem on the dock.

For those of you experiencing this, as a workaround until you get the rubber sleeves, just ensure you tip the left side into the dock a bit ahead of the right side (or vice versa). The problem seems to be when the outer pins get contact at the same time.
