    So after I sent in my m15x to fix the hinge crack and got it back, I noticed keyboard flex on the bottom right of my keyboard... I've never noticed it before.

    I also noticed that my lcd makes a LOT of noise when I reposition it. It's a lot tighter than before at the hinges, but the different parts that make up the lcd panel seem to be very loosely fitted now. Anything I can do to fix this?

    for the flex, if it really bothers you, you can try the DIY fix for the flex posted a while ago.

    If the hinges are the ones making a sound maybe you can try to tighten up the screws? When i got mine back from repair i checked the screws and they were in pretty tightly. The creaking of my m15x stopped after i send it in for repairs.

    the hinges are fine, they make no noise at all. It's the rest of the LCD that makes noise now.
