T60 Wide Owners - Is your ultrabay 'wobbly' and loose?

[ThinkTay]

Mine has 2-3 mm of wiggle room vertically. Yes, that means lots of jiggling. Is this common? its true for both my DVD burner and Battery. It is not such a big deal, but rather worrisome. I am considering sliding some duct tape in, just so it doesnt bounce around so much. It appears the slot for the drive is much larger than the drive itself.

Well I'm pretty sure that you mean millimeters, not centimeters, but yes my T60p widescreen has a lot of clearance and the drive is kind of loose in there. I wouldn't be worried about it coming out though, as the drive release mechanism holds mine in just fine.

Yes, mine is the same way.

What's a little disturbing is that with a CD spinning in the drive, tilting the computer even slightly can produce a nasty noise (which tells me the CD may not be suspended adequately to withstand small movements).

No, I don't make it a point to tilt my computer when a CD is playing, but I couldn't help but notice it because I was just shifting the T60p on my lap.
