I had this same problem for a long time. After finally getting tired of it I decided to poke around inside. When I started taking the screws out, I noticed a few were missing. I thought nothing of it that maybe the previous owner did the same and lost a few. I didn't find anything wrong inside, but when I put it back together, the problem stopped. I found that when turned upside down, the bottom left screws must be tightened as much as possible. I'm not sure why this is an issue and would love for someone to inform me.
