New zBook does not lie flat.

[WellSys]

Just finished layering up a new zBook 15 G5 and I am finding that it does not lie flat and rocks.  The near left-hand corner does not rest on the desktop, and it rocks up and down.  I am concerned that if the case is warped then the components inside are not soundly installed and internal tension will result in more serious problems in the future.

From HP > CAUTION

Recently, HP has seen an increased number of third-party support websites selling HP driver downloads or diagnostic tools. Many of these websites use the HP trademark symbol and claim to be official HP distributors.

If your product supports your operating system, HP offers your driver and software at no additional cost through the HP website.

Use caution when dealing with any website that asks you to pay for HP driver downloads or tools that claim to diagnose your HP products. These websites might not be affiliated with HP in any way.

Do not install BIOS updates from a motherboard manufacturer's website. Only install BIOS updates from HP. Installing BIOS updates from the motherboard manufacturer can prevent the computer from accepting an HP system recovery. This could result in a loss of data.
