Love my T42, notice the LCD screen hinge is getting loose on one side, can't quite figure out how to fix this, anyone have a solution?

You could try removing the keyboard and keyboard bezel, and tightening the mounting screws (two on the LH side and one on the RH side). If that doesn't help, you will need to replace the hinges. Don't worry, it's a really fun job. :twisted:
