    Hello, fellow NBR users, I have a g51jx and the hinges seem to be tight(or brittle) and my desk does not hold alot of weight so any movement on the surface (ex. keyboard tray) the desk will vibrate, its not violent but it is noticeable even more when there is movement around to the point as the screen sways back and forth, I am not worried about the Harddrive since I have already ordered a 256gb ssd :D and its on its way but my biggest concern is THE LCD SCREEN, I would like to know if there is an long or short term inherent dangers for my laptop screen?

    Also I dont really carry the laptop around so this is pretty much the only vibrations or movement that this laptop deals with.

    -Thanks in advance

    LCD screens are fine with nonviolent vibrations. If there's any torsion or twisting or pressure on it there might be problems, but shaking your laptop will sooner kill an HDD than the LCD.
