    hello everyone,
    When i first recieved my m11x one hinge made a clicking noise, now the other hinge is making a creaking noise and its becoming very annoying especially since the system is so expensive, any ideas what to do?
    Cheers

    yep, hollar at Alienware if it bothers you. My right hinge "clicks" as well, it hasn't gotten worse, but out of concern I contacted Dell and they are going to have an engineer examine my system to determine exactly what the problem is and if it's a mere annoyance or an actual problem. As it is now, it clicks but functions fine.
