Not normal (has happened to me once or twice with no ill effects) on a properly assembled computer. In your case it may be related to keyboard not sitting correctly (see below and check entire keyboard seating). > Another aside...this new 2400 has a YoSan keyboard...the area that sits > above the inside of the battery compartment...Namely the arrow keys...seems > to hang a bit low...meaning sometimes it's a bit rough to get the battery in > and out... > So...what to do? Any help appreciated, except psychological pondering over > my 2400 compulsion... Pull back trackpad cover assembly. There are molded reverse "T" tabs that need to be sufficiently depressed on during the closure process to slide under the receiving slots in the keyboard. The tab is certainly sitting on TOP of the slot on lower right part of the keyboard (when it should have been slid under). ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
