    Hi forum,

    I bought an E1505 in April 2006 and the screen is already becoming loose. It used to be very tight but now wiggles 1-2 inches back and forth when it is open. I suspect this is a mechanical flaw that occurs after it is opened and closed many times. But it has only been about 7 months...

    Does anyone know if there is a quick fix I can do or whether I have to send it in to get tightened?

    I already did a quick forum search and found a tutorial on how to remove the hinge covers. I already did that, but the screws you can access there are not the screws that hold the screen in place.

    Anyone else have this problem and have a solution?

    Thanks
