    I just received my T61, and after a little use; when I hit the "i" key and the "a" key, there is a little squeak.

    This is my first notebook, so I know nothing about why that is happening; can anyone help me out?

    i am using x61, have squeaky key out of the box for my "p" key as well. I looked underneath my "p" key, its not dust its the small piece of blue plastic that is squeaky so i swaped it with that of a key i don't use often. A temporary measure until i can get it fixed when i return home

    My keys don't actually squeak anymore... so I'm not sure what the problem was.
