Re: TP-755CX keyboard release problem

"I have a Thinkpad 755CX and my latches look like your Exhibit A.  While I
agree with you that I have to pull the tabs slightly apart to lift the
keyboard, I think it is supposed to be design this way.  The reason being
that you would release your keyboard everytime you open the computer.  I've
seen many of the 755 (CE, CD, CX) and they are all like this.

Sorry to disagree with you but IBM wins on this one."

I think the point is that the design here is definitely flaky. For example,
on my 755CX, the left catch is reasonable, requires just a bit of extra
pressure, but the right side catch is impossible without moving it out
manually.
