My Thinkpad's LCD is a bit loose
Like for example, if I have it open at more than 90 degrees, say at 110 degrees, it wont stay in place and it will slowy fall back till its flat-open...
This happened overnight and I have no idea why...

Does anyone know if there's some screw I can tighten or something?

Thanks

570 Hardware Maintenance Manual

Grab the PDF from above and look at the screen assembly pages. It'll help you get to the right areas to tighten screws, etc.

I may be too late, but I just did this on my 570e. After removing the LCD, but not tearing it apart, I used a pair of pliers and squeezed the hinge pins back into the hinges.
