Thanks for the info. I searched for "slider loose", "keyboard problem", etc. before posting but I did not see your previous post. It looks like that is how it is supposed to be. Too bad..the screen sags just enough on that side that it almost touches the top of the keyboard. Makes it difficult to type on that side....plus just the skewing of the screen because of the sagging drives me crazy. I will probably return it and look around for another device
