Nowadays automated production deliver stable quality - either all units have defect or non of them.

I guess that would explain the rattling sound which some people are still experiencing in their devices with a component apparently coming loose.

Hi Michael. I received my e-reader on this Friday. It is really fantastic. However, I guess there is a component that is not securely fixed at the central part of the IC board. Whenever I sway the e-reader lightly, there is a rocking sound at the central portion of this gadget. Probably, this could be the lithium battery. I find the sound somewhat annoying. Can you help me to solve this issue? I am living in Macau. Any repair/replacement I presume will take quite a long time. Thank you. Edward

One user solved this issue by finding out exactly where that noise is happening and running a hair dryer on it for a minute or so. This should solve the problem, it is not elegant, but it is something you can do yourself.

Not sure that I would care for that "solution" to the problem, though. What would happen if one accidentally fried the internal components following such advice? Would they still cover it under the warranty?
