    Hi--

    The lid on my new T61 creaks on the left side. It's noticeable when you press on the left side of the lid or squeeze gently in the center of the left edge. I'd kind of gotten used to it, but I just had a chance to use another new T61, and it's solid in that same area.

    I was going to take the LCD cover off to see if I can see something rubbing (WiFi antenna wires are in that area, no?), but the disassembly instructions in the service manual are a little vague, and I've been afraid of breaking something.

    Anyone have any tips for disassembly (or stories of fixing the same creak)?

    Thanks in advance,
    -K
