    When my laptop screen is opened tilted backwards slightly. I lift it up its fine but when i put it down, the lid tilts further backwards. It seems to tilt backwards much more easier than forward. Does anyone experience this on their SZs?

    It's a SZ6. I have an SZ1 that does not do this.

    Thanks.

    I just tried it on my SZ650, and it seems okay.

    Just got my SZ yesterday and it's fine. Though when I tilt it all the way back and bring it forward it does come further forward and then drops back a little. I guess it's due to the flex in the screen. Nothing to worry about.
