Inspiron 1501 lid is pulling apart?

I'm also having the same problem as the original poster. I'm wondering if anyone has any updated information on this issue.

In terms of replacing the bezel and the LCD back cover as one poster suggested, is this something I can do myself or would it be better to have a technician do? I don't have this under warranty anymore, so it likely wouldn't be a Dell tech.

Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated!

 

Why did you revive this thread that has been dead for nearly eight months now? Just create a new one!

Would the mods please close this thread?

 

Decided to spin it off into a new thread.

To the OP, as mentioned, please don't bring up dead threads.

In response to the actual question, you can replace the hinges and/or bezel yourself. The parts are fairly accessible on eBay and Dell provides instructions on how to do this:
