    I have a Samsung 5 series 53U4C laptop. Its hinges are loose, i want to fix it, i opened up the back panel tightened some screws on hinges but that didn't work.

    Is there any other way to fix this problem?

    There is no way that I know of to tighten the hinges used on notebook computers. I would look on the 'bay and similar places for a set of hinges taken from a dismantled U4C or similar. However, you will probably have to remove the display bezel which might be glued in order to get to the screws fixing the hinges to the display.

    Well i took the risk and opened the bezel from the bottom a little bit so that i could access the hinges under the bezel, the screws on the hinges were loose. After tightening them the problem was gone. Good thing that i did no damage to the screen bezel.
