KevinH sent me a link to notebook mods ... and i found 2 very useful mods so i thought i should share em with you guys :
1) Trackpoint Button Fix</a>: Many have complained of excess "play," or distance the button has to be pushed down, in the eraserhead buttons. This is a simple explaination of how to fix this.
2) Keyboard Fix: Many have claimed that the 8500/8600/D800/M60 have too much flex in the keyboard. For instance press down on the left and right shift button, the left arrow button, the esc button or the buttons surrounging the erasehead. If there is movement after the key is depressed (if you press harder) then you have flex in your keyboard. There is a simple fix for this, which would make your keyboard much more solid regardless if you previously had noticable "flexing" in your keyboard.
These fixes are done by DELL-Spiike, a moderator of the Notebook Forums
Btw.. i tried the Trackpoint button fix... and its amazing. It really made my trackpoint usable... i always used an external mouse before this...
I most probably do the Keyboard fix in the coming weekend ....
