    Hi all,

    I recently purchased a SZ650, and noticed that the right side of the body is loose, especially toward the top right hand corner of the keyboard, where the right body piece meets the screen hinge. Is there a screw behind the silver cap on the side of the screen hinge that I might be able to tighten? Or, is there another way to tighten the piece?

    The store demo I checked out a few weeks back had a similar problem, only much looser, and on both sides, so apparently my model isn't defective...

    But, after 3 C drive restores due to loosing Fn/Shortcut key functions while trying to delete the freaking bloatware, and now a loose, "clicky" touchpad (found that fix but won't attemt) and the loose side piece after two weeks of owning it, it's hard for me to fully fall in love...

    Any help for tightening the side would be really appreciated!
