Dead Internal Speaker?

Hi,

My 5 month old T41 recently lost its internal speaker output. I'm not sure what happened. I tried to reinstall the audio drives, but no luck. I do get audio from headphones/external speakers, but nothing from the internal ones under the keyboard.

At random, the speaker comes back to life. I just noticed that right as I placed my palms on the keyboard, the sound cuts out. If I firmly press against the left speaker grill piece, it comes back. What the hell.
