    Hello! I have a loose hinge on my 1520's lcd. It rocks back and forth slightly in place and even creaks a little. I tried doing a search for this laptop and didn't find anyone with the same problem. Help! Thanks.

    Did you purchase it like this? The screws that hold the hinges in place could have come loose. This happens sometimes with my XPS. I just tighten up the screws and its good to go.

    However, if the laptop is new, and you stated that it creaks a little, I think the hinges may be defective. If you don't feel confortable taking the laptop apart, give dell a call and explain to them whats going on.
