Hello all,

I may just be paranoid, but lately I've noticed a bump protruding from underneath the lid (right underneath the lenovo rollmark). Should I be concerned? I'm wondering if it's the wifi antenna assembly just loose.

Hmmm...if I'm gonna have to end up taking her apart to "fix" it, I might as well purchase a WXGA+ (1440x900) screen and sticking it in there

It's the one on the lower left corner of the upper side of the lid, right?
It's just a stick on thing that's held in place with glue.

If it's a general bump, try squeezing a bit to make sure the plastic clips are in place.

Yes Colonel, it is on the lower left corner of the upper side of the lid, right where it has the embossed "Lenovo"

According to the T400 hardware maintenance manual, that is where one of the antenna assemblies clips onto the magnesium frame.

I've put a little bit of pressure to possible pop the assembly/tape back in place, but no dice. Just weird, never really noticed it until a few days ago.

I noticed bump right below the ThinkPad logo on my former R400's LCD when I got it back from service after LCD replacement. Never took it apart to see what was the cause for it tho.
If you do happen to dissemble it yourself and then put it back to get rid of that bump, please report back as to what was the cause !

I don't think anything is loose, probably just one clip isn't properly holding as it should.
