Uneven/crooked ThinkPad chassis? (lemmy.ml)

Just noticed that the lower right corner of my X230 just barely hovers above the table. It gives ever so slightly when I press on that corner and I can hear the rubber pad squish against the table.

Also, the table isn't crooked; my other laptops sit perfectly flat. Has anyone else had or solved this issue on their X230 or other Thinkpad?

I have a number of machines like this. I’m not sure if they were previously dropped, or just a manufacturing defect or what.

Since it’s an X230 do you have the 9 cell battery? If I remember right the bigger battery sticks out under the laptop too and maybe the battery is just uneven and the chassis is rigid enough it doesn’t sit flat.
