Will someone help me tighten my LCD on my D610?

    I have a Dell Latitude D610, but the LCD screen is very flimsy, like it wobbles back and forth.

    Is there anyone here that knows how to tighten it? Or link me to the right direction?

    Thanks!

    I don't have a D610 so take this for what it's worth. I bet there is a panel between the top of the keyboard and the screen, that has little curved pieces that go over the hinges? That probably just pops off. Try sticking the edge of a credit card into the gap along the sides of it and see if you can get it to pop up. You shouldn't need (or want) to pry very hard. Once that's off you'll have access to the hinges, I'd guess one or more of the screws holding them to the laptop body have worked loose. You should try to tighten them as soon as you can, I had a laptop with the same problem and when I finally opened it up one of the screw heads had actually broken off. If that panel won't come off then there must be a screw somewhere holding it down.

    EDIT: Looks like my guess was right. Sometimes you get lucky. :)
