    While tilting the screen back on my G73Jh today, I heard a plastic tapping noise when pushing the right side bezel near the middle rubber pad. Turns out, for whatever reason, the bezel had become loose there and would make a noise every time I tapped it. I've made a short video here that shows the exact problem.

    Is there anyway I can perhaps tighten the loose portion of the bezel down or reseat it? Any other DIY fixes suggested short of sending it to a service center? This laptop is out of warranty so any fix would have to be paid completely out of pocket. :mad:

    Yeah, I know, it's probably just a cosmetic issue, but it sure is annoying. And considering that I take impeccable care of this thing physically, maybe the build quality isn't that great either? :(

    Thanks for the reply. I just watched the whole video and the only thing I can think of is that the bezel might've somehow become unseated. The screw at the bottom underneath the round rubber foot is tight so that's not the issue. I'm gonna try pushing the bezel in gently on the right side and see if it snaps back into place.
