Hi,

If I sit in a bus or train and the ride gets a little bumpy the screen falls backwards quite easily. Is there anything I can do to fix that, fasten some screws or something or is it just broken?

Thanks.

It's the hinges for the screen assembly I'm afraid - it's a pretty common issue and generally you'll need to replace the hinges; I'm basing that on the T61 TPs I've worked on in the past (which were in a bad state) but other members may have alternative options for you to consider.
