Laptop "Rubber Feet" Falling Off
4.5
The small rubber pads on the bottom of the laptop have come off, making it slide on desks.
Symptoms
- Laptop sliding
- Scratched bottom
- Uneven sitting
Possible Causes
- Heat melting glue
- Friction from sliding in/out of bags
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Clean the Recess
Use alcohol to remove all old glue residue before re-applying.
2
Use Cyanoacrylate (Super Glue)
A tiny drop can permanently re-attach the rubber foot.
3
Buy Replacement Feet
You can find model-specific rubber feet on eBay or Amazon.
When to See a Technician
Rubber feet are important for airflow; without them, the laptop sits too flat and can overheat.
