X301 Case Loose at 3 spots

#1 Post by wesleyyin » Sun Jul 26, 2009 11:38 pm

Can anyone check and see if your X301 has a similar loose case problem?

Here is a video clip describing the problem http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpFaaSigONE .

I never drop or damage the laptop, but there are 3 loose places around the case.

The first one is near the left speaker. The palm rest area near the left speaker can be lifted up from the base beneath it. There is a screw on the back, but it is tight.

The second one is near the right hinge. The entire hinge itself can be moved forward/backward.

The third one is near the left bottom of the LCD penal. The front and back pieces of the LCD near the area covers leave a large and obvious gap.

Have you tried removing the screws around the problem area and then screwing them back in?
