g1s hinges

Hello. Anyone experiencing some wobble with their g1s screen? When I pull the screen lightly and then release, it wobbles quite a bit and then stops. Is there anyway to make it stop wobbling or reduce it? thanks.

 

Don't pull lightly on the screen and release?


Learn to live with it is my best advice. It isn't terrible.

 

Sagely advice indeed.

 

I'll try to keep my hands on the keyboard and mouse next time. But the wobbling gets annoying because the table I have the g1s on is kinda shaky.

 

Get a better table? Get a coffee table for under $50? Reallly! It isn't that hard to prolong the life of your over $2000 investment.

 

You could always get some 1/4in thick angle brackets, and screw it in the corner, holding the screen in place...

it would stop the wobbling...

and the computer...


ah, just a minor detail!

 

I'm saving up money to purchase a cooler for my notebook, preferably the zalman one. The table would have to wait.

 

If you're married, ask your wife to do you a favor and slap you. If you have kids, ask them to steal your credit cards and go on a shopping spree.

Either way, you're bound to spend money on a new table.

 

Actually I'm still a student going to Uni this year. About 2 more weeks until I move into my dorm, the table I believe, is secured to the wall.

 

I'm going to Uni this week too. Infact, this Friday. If the table is fixed to the wall, use a sledge hammer and break it. Then say that a giant possum came from nowhere and landed on the table and broke it. New Table and problem solved.

Good luck in Uni. Best of luck with a new table.

 

Hmm I haven't held the g1 in my own hands but does it have the removeable hinge covers? If so you can remove them and easily tighten the screws.

 

I checked the hinges. There seems to metal caps over the screws. Don't think you can remove them. Just tried. I couldn't

 

Thanks Good luck for you too. b <-(thumbs up) . In my dorm, they have one of those mini fridges... would be pretty useful when the g1s is getting hot. Hope it fits a 15.4 laptop. As for the table, I'll just throw it outside the window, then I won't have to worry about using the notebook on the grass.

EDIT: somehow the middle of the metal cap looks like an eyeball to me

 

Seems like your hinges are too tight. I had the same experience with my asus A8js which cracked my top base, lcd lid and front bezel. my hinges were replaced and regreased.

 

You can unscrew the 3 screws holding the cap on underneath it... Mine became loose, and I had to tighten it... Make sure you have a small enough screw driver to reach the screws though

 

Is it possible to show me where the screws are? I currently can't find them. Thanks
