    I have an Aspire e1-522 which I've owned for a week or two, brand new. It has been creakingwhenever I close the lid, sometimes its a very quiet creak but other times its noticable. On occasion it sounds more like a clicking sound

    It only does this when I close the lid, it makes no noise when I open it

    Is this anything to be concerned by?

    Thanks!

    It may just be an over tightened hinge screw or a lack of hinge lubricant/grease. That's my best guess, otherwise probably not a huge concern unless the noise and or feeling bothers you.
