    So I found then when i put some moderate pressure on the area my right palm rests when im typing, or where my finger print reading is there is a sort of clunk, like something is not set correctly. Anyone else have this on their new t61?

    Same here, I checked the manual, without "finger print reder" structure to support. There is nothing down there, so it feel a bit not solid.

    Some of the friction noise comes from the edge of the palmrest rubbing on the lip of the HD bay cover. Loosen the HD cover screw, and with the bit of freeplay pull the cover out a fraction of a mm, and retighten the screw.

    Same problem with mine. There's some play on the right side of the palm rest. Left side has no play at all. I can lift the lip of the palm rest a bit on the right side, but cannot do the same on the left. One extra screw on the right side of the palm rest would have fixed it.
