    i just noticed recently that the "f" key in my chiclet keyboard is slightly raised, is that normal? or probably just an imperfection on the keyboard?

    Is there a screw under that part of the keyboard? I had a Thinkpad that had a loose screw that caused the keyboard to bulge. One turn and it was fixed.

    Is anything wedged under it? Cardboard, a styrofoam pellet, tiny bug?

    Is the key snapped all the way onto the riser?

    Other than an imperfection, that's all I can think of.

    no objects or insects under the key.

    im not sure if its snapped all the way in, but i tried pushing it down and its still slightly raised.

    Look at one of the service manuals. Search being what it is on this site, it will take me a bit to find them.

    EDIT: I was j/k about the bug. :)
