    Anybody else experiencing this?

    The whole touchpad surface, is like flapping, and whenever you click, it's making a loud noise, because it doesn't sit tight in its place.


    Whats the workaround to fix this?

    You sure you didn't drop it or anything? Do you have pictures?

    Sure didn;t drop it :)

    Picture wouldn't show what I meant above. It's loose and therefore it's noisy since there there is a small gap somewhere between the touchpad surface and the palmrest area.

    I experienced this on over 5 different S10-3T's. Develops after a few weeks, I'm surprised nobody mentioned this.

    Perhaps it is a known defect? Finding 5 others with the same exact problem isn't just bad luck/coincidence. Call up Lenovo?

    I guess people aren't really bothered by this, the issue was more present on some than on others. So I guess the "looseness" varies.

    I'm sure I'd be able to fix it if I open it up. Anyway..

    Maybe somebody else will post in here in the next months, if they experience the same thing and if it bothers them.
