You may want to consider removing the keyboard and reseating it.  It is 
possible that the clips along the front of the wrist tray have come unhooked 
and need to be reset.  You will need to remove the keyboard and the wrist 
rest to reseat them both.  It should be in the service manual.  I had the 
same problem once and had to get a new keyboard to really make it go away, 
but that may not really be necessary.
