Thanks for the tip about the screws under the keyboard. :-) I checked 
the bottom screws yesterday and also looked at the 8 small magnets and 
the opposing metall plates under the keyboard and they were all fine 
since last time somebody mentioned this on the list. Silly enough I 
didn't even think of checking the screws under the keyboad and sure 
enough two of them were definitly loose when checking them today.

Since we seem to have a few new Ti listmembers who have bought their 
Ti:s second hand I thought I help reminding them about the small 
magnets. Thought, by the way, that one of those small magnet getting 
loose and fallen down on a bad place could be the cause of the perfect 
Ti-400, that a 14-night after transportation to its new owner,  
suddenly failed.
