It appears and feels normal. Doesn't seem to be loose at all. New development from yesterday... I was in the middle of setting up windows after a PC Reset, and it did it again. No power, soft or hard, was pressed. Super wierd.

Well, I just got a used Surface Pro 3 and it looks like I might have been 'taken'. lol It is what it is so I'm going to try and make lemonade out my lemon. I have the exact same issue that was posted here...
