    Hi,

    I was wondering if anyone had an issue with slipping on the U3 Notepal cooling pad. I recently purchased it after reading a number of good reviews and it works as advertised, but I noticed my laptop slips a little when I'm using my keyboard. It's actually very sturdy when the fans are not attached to the base, but my laptop tends to slip when the fans are attached. I believe it has something to do with the prongs of the fan device used to attach the fan to the base, which may be lifting part of my laptop off the rubber feet.

    Anyway I was wondering if anyone else has experience this problem/knows a solution. It's a minor annoyance to have to re-adjust my laptop every once in a while, but I was also wondering if it can do my laptop any harm if it's slightly tilted to the left or right of the pad.

    Thank you.

    Mine usually slides down every couple of days too. I just push it back up and forget about it. If you find a fix, let me know!
