    On the underside of my laptop there is a black circle (part of the outer case) that is pushed in just a little. I was wondering if there is a way to push it back out to prevent future/further damage? I have attatched a picture with an arrow pointing to the spot I am referring to. thanks for the help.

    Please post another picture from a different angle. It does not look like it was pushed in too bad, although i have to wonder how you managed to do that to plastic. (Unless there is enough heat to melt the plastic, in which case you have a bigger problem then that.)

    I honestly don't know how it happened either. I am pretty sure it isn't because of heat. I have never felt heat there before. Here is another pic.

    Was that there before? And try running furmark and prime95 while checking the temps of the area compared to the rest of the bottom. (Set coolsense to performance, or coolest if you want.)
