    Hi,
    I have had my 8204 for a few months now an the hinge for the screen has always been fairly tight ie- i could set the screen viewing angle to anything i wanted. The last few days that seems to have been stopped.

    Unless i am standing the screen virtually vertical from the keyboard the screen just flops back or forward and i cant set it back at an angle so that i can see the screen properly when i am typing (the typical notebook screen position)

    I have searched the boards and cant find any relevant info. apart from broken hinges. I have no cracks, no weird noises. Everything seems fine but its just like the hinge has been well oiled.

    Any tips would be appreciated.

    Cheers
