    Okay, so idk what happened, but the display of my laptop seems kind of wobbly. (physically.) like the tension of the hinge seems fine, but something seems off. when i lift my laptops screen from closed to open, i feel the normal tension, but once open.... if i tap the top of the screen it's wobbly. so perhaps its not screwed down right? I've looked at the dv5t manual, and it says how to take the display apart, but not how to tighten it to the computer. any ideas?

    (part of it may be due to the fact that i was trying to undo some screws on the bottom recently to get to the heatsink of the laptop, with no success, but maybe i tightened a screw or two back in incorrectly?)
    thanks in advance!
