    hm...my laptop is not even one month old
    but yst after my gf using it, the hinge start hving sum weird sound "E"
    just like your door didnt put on wd-40 u can imagine
    then i tried to put on sum wd-40 to the hinge but its not helping at all
    i noticed that my laptop that sell from dell outlet does not hv complete care
    which means they wont repair about this?
    though the laptop is just working fine,and the hinge still fucntioning normal , tight,but that kinda sound just scared me,should i just keep using it or should i ask dell to fix it?or should i just buy parts from stores cuz i saw sum m15x hinge selling on net which cost only 12 bucks

    thx for advice

    Exactly how old is it? As far as I know you have 14 days to return the product if it doesnt live up to expectations

    CALL DELL!
    That's my advice :)

    First, end the option of Dell reparing your computer... then think about buying a spare part.
