    It's loose in the bottom right side. Any idea how this could have happened? I didn't take out any keyboard screws I don't think. Just the top panel and the CPU HS.

    Ya, it's around the arrow keys, I didn't notice it before though. Is there a way to fix it?

    Also, I can't spell today, my apologies. :eek:

    Edit: NM, found the answer here.
