    I just noticed on my E1505, that on one of the hinges where the LCD connects to the base, one of the "tubes" are thinner and seemingly uncovered, compared to the others. When you look at the gap between the base and the LCD panel, 3 of them, have a silver chrome-like tube that connects the two. However, one of the 4 gaps, only has a very thin metal rod, with no fat chrome piece. I don't know if anyone knows what i'm talking about, and if this is the case on everyone else's inspiron.
