    Has anyone ever had a problem with this? I recently purchased a laptop in the buy/sell forum, and there was no mention of a broken left key.

    It pops out if I press on the left edge (I'm assuming thats where most people press when they use the on board mouse). It lifts up, and the metal part does not keep it in place, do I need to super glue it back or something?

    Well overall the laptop is fine, its just the key keeps popping up which annoys me, and I was hoping to see if anyone knew how to fix this issue (with superglue or something).

    I used paypal / creditcard anyhow, but there aren't any major errors and I'm sure the seller will be accomidating.

    This actually happened to me, the difference being that my T61p was new from Lenovo. I just called customer service and they sent me a new palm rest (which the touch pad and fingerprint reader are attached to).

    So if the laptop is still in warranty I would suggest that, otherwise you should probably attempt to get it sorted out by the seller if possible.

    Ok, thank you very much for the information, I'll try to contact Customer Service. Saved me some time as I was trying to find software to upload my pictures from my phone hehe.
