    Hi,

    My 640M is still working fine but the LCD hinges seem to be a little loose. i.e. if I tilt the laptop a little, the lcd seems to bend on either side I bend it upon.

    I noticed that my friends' laptops - Dell inspirons but newer models ( 14, 1420) etc do not have this loose LCD hinges.

    I dont remember if the hinges were loose when a new laptop arrived, but its been about 3 years now and I notice this.

    Of course its not effecting in anyway I can use my laptop, just that I'd like it to be firm.


    is there a way to fix this ?

    thanks,
    Amol

    You could order new hinges from parts-people.com or resaleremarketing.net.
