Laptop feet go bye bye - 17:36
I just noticed a few hours ago that my laptop (dell x300) is missing two of
the rubber stabilising feet on its base. When this happened to my pismo
powerbook a few years ago I was able to purchase basic round rubber stick on
feet and they worked. The feet on this dell are long thin bits of rubber. I
need to have a bit of a look around OfficeWorks or similar to see if they sell
feet that will work.
The laptop rattles a bit when I type now unless I have my palms resting next
to the touchpad while typing, which is a slightly inefficient typing position
and possibly damaging long term. I noticed the missing feet as one of them
fell off, however somehow I lost it as I flicked it away before realising what
I had just flicked away.
