    I have a Z63A and I have a small lump on the frame that surrounds the screen. It is up on the top right, just to the left of the screw (or bumper). Anybody have any clues as to what could be causing this? Was something shoved in there incorrectly? It is like something is in there that just is too big for the frame. I have tried pushing it in and tightening the screw. :confused:

    Thanks in advance!

    that's what you'd see if one of the clips some how came out... give it a little pressure.

    How much pressure? I've pushed fairly hard. Should I push near the white trim? The middle of the frame? I don't want to damage the screen.

    BTW - thanks.

    can you take a picture? That'll give us a better idea of what exactly is causing this "bump"...

    It is very faint, and with the gray paint, I don't think it will show up. You almost have to rub it to feel it (you know how it is, rubbing the Z63A at night...) ;) Anyway, it is more of a cosmetic thing, and I was thinking that somebody might know if there is something in that general area that could cause it, like a magnet out of place or something.
