    Hey there, ive recently noticed that my vaio z screen panel is shaking when touched..

    i mean, in the bottom of the screen, right on the logo "sony" , when you touch it, it shakes.. i mean. the panel feels weak and it shakes when applied pressure. the bottom panel of the screen slightly bent outside.. is it normal ? or faulty?

    The screen is very flexible, a little bit scaring but normal...

    I took apart the previous Z-590 model and found that the LCD panel is not screwed in place. Instead it's held in place is a better description as in the plastic frame just holds the LCD panel. No stickers, screws or whatever. It makes sense from a durability standpoint because if the lid flexes you want it to flex independently from the LCD panel instead of snapping it. Of course this might mean some wiggle room but I'm not sure if that isn't too much?
