    It seems that Lenovo has update the fan by placing a foam block on top. This props the keyboard up slightly higher than it would normally sit. Don't know if this is to address some cooling or structural issue. But the fact that the upper left of the keyboard is propped has introduced a bench of flex to the left side of the keyboard, especially the lower left. It's annoying having a loud sound clunk everytime I push the Shift button. The keyboard is visibly flexing. Could someone please advise if there's a solution to this or whether the foam block can be removed (it wasn't there in the old one and it cooled fine).
