I want to see if I can tighten the hinges on my R61e, and am wondering if anyone has any tips for removing the plugs that cover the screws that hold on the bezel. I simply don't want any damage to the plastic whatsoever, and prying them out seems to be the typically suggested method(which seems certain to tear things up a bit, even if a razor blade or something similar is used). Any ideas would be appreciated. While I'm here, I'm assuming there is something I can do to tighten the hinges once I have access to them. Assuming what needs to be done isn't obvious, any help tightening my now pretty sloppy hinges would be appreciated, too. Thanks.

If the screen lid is wobbling it's natural to assume you can tighten the hinges by adjusting some sort of screws but unfortunately you can't really tighten the hinges due to its unified design. If the screen lid is wobbling the only real remedy is actually changing the whole hinge set which is a bummer...
Prying the bezel is actually not that difficult though, I usually start from the side and grasp it up with my own hands and it should unhook itself without too much trouble.
