    What's a good substitute for the rubber on the palm rest corners to keep the monitor from making full contact? I've lost mine a year a go and I don't know how or why they came off.

    Looking for an excellent substitute.

    They come off because they aren't exactly meant to stay there long. I've stripped off 6 rubber stoppers from the bottom of desktop keyboards, and carefully with very little super glue placed 2 on the palmrest, and 4 on the underside of the laptop becuase i lost those too. Clean up any excess superlue straight away. I did this about a year ago, and haven't lost one since.

    I used a wire for a phone charger, cut it and super glued it back. Looks natural.
