T61 loose HDD cover

#1 Post by agarza » Thu Mar 26, 2009 2:51 pm

The HDD cover on my T61 is kinda loose, it's like it's not very secured against the chassis, is there a way to properly secure it, it kinda wooble a little bit.

I would remove it and inspect it, to see if it's warped or if some dirt or debris has become lodged in that area. I would also check the screw to be sure it is of the proper length, as if it's a bit too long the end cap would be loose.

Its perfectly on its place, although after trying several HDDs on the laptop I think the cover do not longer fits snuggle, if I press the cover against the laptop it creaks, I'm sure it has the same screw when it came new.

I have a brand new cover listed for sale in the marketplace forum, it includes the OEM screw as well. :)
