Fixing the Issue

  1. Disassemble the console and locate the problematic standoff in the center of the top shell. This is the standoff that touches the center of the top of the motherboard, where there is a circular indent in the thin foam pad.
  2. Use any cutting tool to trim some the stand-off down or completely remove it.
