    Herro guys!

    So my M11x makes a couple cracking noises when I open or close it now. Also I think something snapped inside the screen itself because the laptop has a minor bulge area above the right side of the hinge compared to the rest of the screen.

    I have 60 days left on my warranty, would it be possible to call ASAP; or do I have to have a completely snapped screen in order for them to come and fix my screen?

    Do you notice it any looser or different than before? If so you could call for a replacement especially if its an R1/R2 which has known issues with the hinges.

    Do it now! If you ever haven't got a previous hinge problem, you will get the new hinge design. DO IT ASAP!
