    is there anyway to tighten the hinges on this laptop? the screen adjusts it self very easily when its in the car and the car hits every bump. (travel for work alot) i have the regular CCFL screen and not the LED screen sadly. the screen seems kinda loose and not as tight as i would've thought.

    Pull off the left and right hinge covers and the screen bezel. That should give you complete access to the hinges.

    The only possible area that I can think of which you could tighten, would be the actual screws which hold the screen on. This obviously won't do anything if it's the actual hinges themselves that are loose. You may want to contact Dell and get them replaced.
