    LOL :D :D

    i had this little issue when my R2 arrived. Behind the grill there is supposed to be a little foamy sticky thing (i don't know how to call it in english) that dell evenutally forgot to install on one side of my pc. I solved with a foamy adhesive gasket from home deepot. It works perfectly and no light is passing through anymore.

    I know you need a quick DIY fix but... do you still have warranty?
    I don't like it when Dell ships me a unit with these kind of quirks.
