    Lost 3 feet on my wife's x200.

    Can anyone with x200 have a quick look at the bottom, are the four feet all different?

    Any suggestion where to replace them? US ask us to send in the laptop and replace the whole bottom :( Singapore ask for S$45 for replacement, dang.

    Got it for less than half year, sigh, what a glue.

    I think someone has posted about a missing laptop foot before - call Lenovo again and just ask that they send you a pack of replacement feet if you do not want to send in your laptop.

    I've had feet come off. A couple are the same a couple are different. There is a replacement feet pack like MidnightSun mentioned. If your machine is under warranty it should be no problem. I have gotten feet, screw sets, plastic covers...

    There are 5 feet on the X200 (battery feet excluded). Of those 5 feet there are 4 types:

    1) 2 Feet below Palmrest.
    2) 1 small foot next to RAM compartment
    3) 1 foot below PgUp key
    4) 1 foot below Esc key

    It begs the question, how on earth did you loose 3 feet?

    Having had more than 10 ThinkPads, I have never lost a foot other than once when I lost the type of small foot next to the RAM compartment, which seemed to get loose due to heat from the bottom of my X61s.

    I go to a school where all students are assigned a x200 tablet....

    and all of them have 1 missing rubber foot by the memory panel...is this normal?

    you can clearly see the "perimeter" where the foot should be and you can see some left over adhesive there as well....

    Funny... my middle foot (the one next to RAM cover) is gone also... I did not realize it until now. The machine (x200 tablet) is only 4 months old. Weird.
