    Well, I finally got my T530 and so far I am pleased with it. I am wondering though if I might be missing a screw. Last night I happened to look at the bottom of the laptop and noticed that there is a screw hole with no screw in it. The hole is in the area of DVD player where the locking mechanisms are for the caddy. I know this isn't real clear but if someone who has a T530 could look at the bottom of their machine and see if you have the same thing I would appreciate it. It is kind of hard to miss as it is a deep set hole and has brass threads. Thanks for any help.

    The screw is to lock the optical drive in place. Lenovo used to provide a screw to put there if you wanted, but I think they stopped doing that years ago.

    Thanks for the response. I just didn't notice it at first so I wasn't sure if it had fallen out or something.
