    I have a 1520 Lappie. It is 4 months old. Ever since I got it, it will not sit flat on a solid surface. I thought I could withstand because it seems really minor, but now I am just down right annoyed by it.

    Has anyone had this experience? If so, then what did you do to lesson this distraction? Is this something covered under my warranty? I would call up Dell, but I think we all know what their Customer Service is like.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    My computer was not able to sit flat on a solid surface yesterday, but I found out that one cushion pad was missing from one of the corners.

    my m1330 had a wobble among other issues I had it replaced as they told me the feet were fused into the bottom cover and you can't just replace the feet

    Both of the rubber "feet" are still on the laptop.
    When you say that they replaced your computer, does that mean you got a new one?
