Purchased a refurbished Lenovo T500.
It is in great like new shape with Win XP Pro installed.
Just what I need.

BUT ... the keyboard is not installed properly.

The left-hand side of the keyboard depresses with a key press.
The right-hand side is fine.

So maybe some thing is missing to keep the keyboard from depressing.

I will be using this laptop extensively so i do not want it to have a
keyboard problem related to this flexing.

How to get the keyboard out ?
What to use to bolster the keyboard on the left side. ?

TIA

Nothing. There's probably a cable out of place, or an extra long
screw, or something causing the left side to lift.
