    Hey,

    I recently noticed that my top cover has a little bulge above the F4 key (right above the shiny bezel). It is not visible but I can feel it if I let my index finger slide from one side to the other.

    If you own this laptop could you please check if you can also feel a bulge. Maybe its a design issue (cable, etc underneath). I tried to find pictures of this laptop disassembled to see whats underneath but couldnt find anything.

    Thanks for your help!

    I think the bulge may be the piece of plastic is not fully seated. I haven't worked on a Clevo before, but with most laptops you can justs pop that piece of and snap it back down.

    Hey,

    thanks for the quick reply. I think it is seated right since everything is very tight in place. As I said, the bulge is also not visible at all, even in broad daylight when looked at eye level. But its there and it feels like something is underneath the cover. I am just curious :)

    Thanks! There is a picture on page 46, which looks like there are some black cables but its too low res to really see something.
