Hello,

It looks like my T410 troubles continue. I had the screen damaged at the depot and subsequently replaced. Today, when I was wiping the dust off the new screen with a microfiber cloth, I noticed that the bottom of the screen sinks in, or flexes if you will, under very little pressure. Sides or top are not affected.

I cleaned the screen several times before getting it replaced and I don't think it ever did that before. It seems to me that the screen has not been secured or seated correctly.

Dear T410 owners, have you ever noticed the problem I am describing? Is it normal for T410 laptops to do that or do you think that I should contact tech support?
I recorded a video that shows the problem. It's only 9 MB.

[edit]
I uploaded the video to tinypic so you can just watch it in the browser instead of having to download it off Dropbox.

There are no screws at the bottom of the LCD screen, so the LCD bezel is the only thing that holds it in place. It's possible that the LCD bezel is not seated all the way in. If you look at the bottom of the bezel with the lid closed does it mate with the LCD lid or is there a noticeable space visible?

It is also possible, I think, that the panel does not sit flat and tight inside the lid.
