    The LCD on my A8Js is loose....it only stays solid in certain positions and there seems to be something wrong with the hinges....

    I dunno how it happened or recall when it did, but are there any suggestions to get it corrected?

    I'm using the same machine.. my hinges are still rock solid though, it still stays put in any position after constant adjustments day by day. Maybe you should have it checked out ASAP. I think it is because of faulty hinges.. something might've become loose in there.

    i took my hinge covers off

    the small black peices

    its a little tricky you press both outside corners,maybe using two small screwdrivers

    many of the small bolts were loose. the two that are probably the problem are right there under the hinge covers towards the outside, the post bolts

    the a8js welds one of the bolts in, this is a correction from the a8jm I learned from this forum
