x220t cushion loose?

Hi everyone, I just bought a x220t a bit back and I love it. However, I started to notice that on my left cushion (on the edge of the left side of the keyboard) seems to be slightly loose compared with good cushion that seems fairly sturdy and rigid. It gets to the point were from the upper left corner of the button "mute" depressed on the screen, causing minor scratches. While the stripes are not on the screen itself, it leaves marks on it. The other thing is that depression also causes the trackpoint to let a small circular impression on the screen, what is visible. I'm just worried that overtime, it will lead to major problems. Any ideas on what I can / should I do? Your help is greatly appreciated!

It is on the two rubbery pins on the left and right of the laptop edges. Those that prevent the tablet screen turn during transport,

The left is spring and the right is fixed.

However, the issue knows it is common for all laptops x220t and 230 t, where the keyboard is touching the screen.

There is no solution to this, except two workaround solutions:

1 more place large cloth Microfiber on the keyboard before closing the lid

2. install the screen protector.

  • The display is loose on my Portege R500 - how to tighten the hinges?

    The display is loose on my portege r500.

    Does anyone know how to tighten the hinges?

    Hello

    I think that this procedure is very delicate and in my opinion it s a job for a technician.
    I m don't know if you can tighten the hinges if necessary he s need to replace the old hinges

    Is it the hinges are hidden under the plastic around the screen frame.
    The LCD mask is fixed with screws I m but not quite sure how much could be three screws. They are hidden under the mask of small cushions.
    You will need to remove and the tightness of the extra mask.
    Then you can remove the LCD mask. The hinges should be visible now

    But there s more complicated as it may seem the R500 is a nice unit, and it would be a shame that you would damage the LCD screen. The LCD screen is an expensive part, and in my opinion it is worth to ask a professional for help

    Is anyone having problems with certain keys on the keyboard detaches? It is true that it is a 2011 and gets a lot of hits (the keys A, E and N are worn down).

  • Very loose hinges and possible virus on the Macbook pro

    Hi all

    IV ' e noticed my macbook pro screen hinges become very loose and the screen comes back without any force. How much does it cost to repair? Also, how a cleaning of the computer at a cost of virus? I did not buy my computer from an apple reseller but my local Best Buy.

    Thanks again!

    "How much does it cost to fix?

    First of all, check your warranty coverage > https://checkcoverage.apple.com/

    If your warranty has expired, take the Mac at Best Buy for repairs. No one here can tell what the repair might cost.

    In the second place. What happens on your Mac that makes you think that there is a virus?

    I just downloaded the latest updates of Java Version 7 update 25 build 1.7.0_25 - b16 and hell is loose with my FF.

    Just a few examples are when I open the browser, it opens as a band full-width in the upper part of the screen and I have to drag down and reduce the size and instead of being able to start the browser in the bar of me seems to have all the tabs online when I click on the FF icon nothing opens.

    All my previous tabs are no longer in the browser, but seem to be hidden. I disabled the 'Java' content in the "Java Panel" but nothing seems to work. I uninstalled and reinstalled FF (version 21) but nothing seems to have solved the problem - I need really your help in simple, easy to understand instructions for my beloved than FF back to a working state.

    Well, I have the theme 'default' in the guise of cat. and under the cat just «click to Call Skype» Extensions

    No one else in use.

    So now, it would appear all is well and (fingers crossed), I have confidence he's going to stay that way - my grateful thanks for your time and your support once again, I appreciate it.

  • Screws missing or loose Satellite Pro R50 - B - 12 p

    I am the IT Manager for a number of primary schools in the United Kingdom.

    Schools have purchased a large number of Toshiba Satellite Pro R50 - B - 12 portable p 12/18 months from various suppliers. It has been brought to my attention that a large number of laptops lack screwsfrom the merits of the case.

    Because there are so many missing or loose I thoughthat one of these children might do. However, I started to see the same thing is happening in other schools with the cell phones of students and teachers as well s.

    I believe we have more than 50 laptops and all have at least a screwmissing, most have a lot more. I started to see laptops with more than 10 screwsmissing and the case began to unravel. As I see so much of this virtue, being due to a manufacturing problem.

    Is it possible that we can be provided with screws in number (100 +) Datacasting so those missing can be replaced.

    Concerning

  • Portege R700 - the display hinges are loose

    Hello

    my brand new R700 seems to have a bit of a monkey of surrender of a screen on this subject.
    When I use the machine at home, I'm sitting on a coffee table, titration so the screen in an equitable way back at right angles to the display

    If I then get the laptop to use it on mine... well, basically... the screen returns to fully open/flat right through the movement of lifting machine

    Someone else had a similar problem and if yes is it too simple that chew up the hinge bolts and how they access do?
    I rip portable outside all the time, but never a new brand that I'm worried about scratching, so I want to assure you that I understand!

    see you soon

    Hello

    Don t have had similar problems with my laptop but maybe the display hinges are loose
    Usually, these hinges are hidden behind plastic chassis and you would need to disassemble the laptop to get access to these parts.

    In general I put t recommend disassemble this laptop pretty.
    First of all, you will lose the status of the guarantee if you would remove the plastic cover.
    Secondly, you may damage or break this, and I think that that's not worth a risk.

    If I was you, I'd spend low and ask a technician for assistance.

  • Satellite C50t-A-10J: screw loose around the hinges

    Someone had problems with housing screws loosened around the hinges on a laptop via Satellite, and if so do they have suggestions for a solution?

    I have a C50t-A-10J. Within 4 months from first use hinges fixing screws loose and three is out.
    First of all, I noticed this separation autour hinges at startup box.
    I went back to John Lewis, who arranges for a fix, but less than a week to one of the bindings loosened again.

    Looking more closely this laptop I noticed that the hinges are quite steep and the flexible housing.
    This looks a bit on the fragile for a laptop.

    I'm now questioning whether or not it is human enough?
    I would be interested to hear from anyone with similar experience.

    Thank you in advance.

    > I went to John Lewis, who arranges for a fix, but less than a week to one of the bindings loosened again
    In my opinion you should go back to the dealer or should contact the Toshiba service to find solution to this problem.

    I mean it is a hardware problem and before you try to fix it by using some bad motivated method, I recommend you to ask some experts to fix under warranty conditions.
