    Just curious if there is any way to go about fixing loose hinges? I know I can replace them, and might just end up doing that, but wasn't sure if I could just tighten them up, or even do a "ghetto" fix lol.....

    I've had this beast 2 years, and had it apart many times. Only in the last couple months the screen finally started to wobble back and forth. I daily drive this thing, 8-16 hours of use on it on my lap. I abuse it and I'm surprised it has only jsut started to wobble the screen!

    Only had this thing for 2 years and 2 months, bought it with around 500 hours on the hard drive, factory drive still purrs like a kitten in my ultra bay along side my SSD ;)
