    I have a Dell Inspiron 1525. I have kind of an unusual question, but just wanted to hear what people thought. When I pick the laptop up, my hand seems to be right under the disk tray on the right side of the computer. The disk tray sort of moves around, or just bends upward under the weight of me picking up the computer. Hopefully you know what I'm saying. The disk tray is closed, but it kinda shifts around when I'm picking the computer up.

    I try not to touch that, but I'm just wondering if this could cause any damage to the tray, like bending it or damaging anything in the computer? Weird question, I know. I just get a little obsessive about my laptop lol. Thanks

    As long as you aren't pushing on the middle of the tray there shouldn't be too much of a problem.

    I'd be careful and maybe try to lift up in a different area.

    It should be fine. If you want, you can tighten the fitting on the bottom of the laptop.
