    Does the keyboard bulge make the touch-control bulge, too?

    Hi all,

    I have noticed that my keyboard seems to bulge up noticeably between the F7 ~ F10 columns. I have heard about this problem and am willing to try to fix it myself, however, upon examining the touch-control area, I also notice a slight bulge. Where the bulge diminishes in the touch-control, there seems to be some slight warpage -- I can see the light reflections pull into the warped area as I glide my notebook under the lamp.

    Now, is this keyboard/touch-control bulge easily fixable? I have read a thread somewhere about it. It's not a big issue, but for the amount I paid for it, I want the notebook to be in tip-top shape.

    What should I do?
