Laptop screen...

Is there a way to tighten or replace the hinge on a laptop screen? Its really loose.

you could replace it, but i dont think you can tighten them.

Loose like wobbly or like you open it and it slams shut again?
If It's just wobbly there should be a couple screws you can tighten inside.

Ya there is just slop in it.

You have to remove the screen itself to get to them. The screws are under the rubber stoppers on the face of the screen.

hmmm any advice on how not to break anything? lol

just be careful when you pull the screen. It has tape on the display cable attached to the back of the screen itself. You can't really mess anything up... well you can but working on these nitros is a little more difficult.

what kind of "slop"? Spill? Dirt? Spray rubbing alcohol in it and use compressed air to blow it out. Repeat until it stops binding up.

its just loose like it will move back and forth about a inch with no resistance...

You gotta remove the screen.
