    Hi
    Hope there is somebody who can help me on this weird thing, at least tell me that I'm right.
    I have just received couple days ago si1520 and from the first sight I am almost sure I got a faulty one. I will try to describe the fault as best as I can, english is not my native language. I will include some pictures as well. Just after unpacking and unwrapping the laptop I noticed some kind of bulge near the six function buttons on the right hand side of the laptop, above the keyboard. There is also a space between two sheets of magnesium [?] which is not visible on the left hand side of laptop. The keyboard itself feels loose and pushed up from inside on the right side. Actually, the whole up-right side seems to be pushed from inside. Please check enclosed pictures. It seems that quality control overlooked it or something happened during the delivery... well I do not really know.
    I called fujitsu-siemens support twice and send these pictures as well but their response was not very helpful. Nobody wanted to admit that there is actually something wrong with laptop, the only thing I heard was 'this is not covered by guaranty therefore I need to contact my reseller'. I bought it from dabs.com, have tried to organize return and now I am waiting third day for their proper reply [you can't actually contact them by phone...]
    Could si1520 owners have a closer look and say if I'm the unlucky one?
    Your help is greatly appreciated
