Left hinge a bit loose on r40
Posted: Wed Jun 14, 2006 3:47 pm
Hello evreyone,
I'm about to buy a used R40 from a friend of mine, and most things seem to be just fine (and I'm thrilled over how well this machine goes together with Linux).
Anyway, trying to utterly check the machine I have found one flaw that disturbes me. The left LCD-hinge is a bit loose (looser then the right one anyway) and I wonder if there is some way to tighten it. (Moving the screen back and forth also renders a clicking sound.)
To make it clear to you guys, it is not the pressure needed to open/close the lid that I'm on about, it's the way the left hinge is "connected" to the rest of the machine.
Anyway, this beeing my first post and all i hope I'm not about to get flamed to bits, and i hope my english isn't too bad either
