Sir, well tapping gently on my T60 makes a noise too, but upon doing so I would not conclude the seal is loose unless I were to see a noticeable amount of vacuum between the bezel and screen.

You should post a close up picture of your machine.

Looks like the lower right screw is missing.

I cannot find a single fault with my T60. :? Maybe i should start tapping at every nook and corner to check for loose parts.

this is not a picture from your notebook, why don't you post one so people could see the real gap?

if you remove the screws and pull it apart, of course there will be a gap..

the photo needs to be when it is properly assembled and showing a gap..

IMO if all that your're complaining is about takes affirmative action on your part to produce a "click" then maybe those parts need a shim.. :)

FWIW, my T60p is rock solid excedpt when i slam it against the doorpost..
it does not LIKE the doorpost.. :shock: :)

just called them and receive some help, all i can say is great service from lenovo, offer me an exchange since the purchase was within 21 days or depot repair.

just to be curious, any of you have this problem ? or is it just too minimal to bother?

I had a small gap in my front bezel, I had it replaced, too ~48 hours of turnaround time. You can read more about the Depot experience I had here:
