    Hi, I just got my g1s 2 weeks ago. And so far I'm really happy with it except for this really minor thing. The right most hinge on my computer (with a silver knob) is loose. I can nudge it horizontally but not vertically... I'm wondering if a screw is loose? I tried to screw them in, but I don't have a screwdriver small enough to even touch the screw... Is it broken?

    Thanks,
    Eric Huang

    Neither of the hinges on my G1S budge at all so it does sound like something is loose on your computer that shouldn't be. However, someone correct me if I am wrong, I thought these were "screwless" hinges, so I don't think you'll be able to fix the problem with just a screwdriver. You might want to call Asus customer support (if you're in the U.S., the number is 1-888-678-3688) and ask them about it.

    Mine was like that...screw was just loose so i screwed it back in tightly and it is perfectly fine now. Just get a screw and screw it in...i used the small screws like the one used on eye glasses and such.

    Where exactly did you screw it into? The only screw slots I could find were the 3 extremely small slots located directly underneath... but I couldn't reach them with any regular screwdriver!...
