So, last weekend, I pulled out the palmrest/keyboard so I could get some dust out of my T60's fan...but since then, I've been unable to get it back together again without ending up with a creaky keyboard. I'm quite certain I didn't bend the support plate, but no matter how I re-align things/tighten/loosen screws, the top-left corner (Esc, F1-F3,~, Tab) creaks now when pressed down firmly. Any thoughts/tricks/tips on how to fix this?

Obviously, it's hardly the end of the world, but it drives me crazy that my previously rock-solid keyboard now...isn't.

Thanks!

One thing to check for is proper routing of the antenna cables. These should go over certain things and under other things. I've seen more than once how one of them, when not routed correctly, prevents the proper alignment of the keyboard/bezel/LCD front bezel.

Thanks for the tip--this took care of it
