    So Ive been having a few problems...

    First, it seems like part of the keyboard is bulging out. The middle/top area seems to bulge out a bit. Is htis normal or is there something wrong with mine? Also, if I press down on the area above the keyboard (where the power button is) there is a lot of flex as I can see everything move. Is this specific to my 1530 or is it like that in all?

    Also, I dont know if its this computer or vista or what, but when the computer goes into hibernate, I have no idea how to turn it back on. I tried pressing the power button, pressing some buttons, but it does not turn back on. how do i do it?

    Thanks in advance

    one way would be unplug it and take out the battery or hold power to shut system right down then press again to boot it up

    But since its hibernating isnt there a more appropriate way to turn it back on other than forcing it to shut down?

    Its strange, if it goes to sleep or hibernates and i turn it back on, everything seems off but the fans and such are still running yet theres nothing on the screen. I can hold the power down to turn it off but how am i supposed to get it to unsleeP?
