Hi everyone.
I bought a replacement HD+ screen for my T530, because I had a HD one.
I recently noticed, that when I'm typing something on keyboard - my screen shakes a little bit. Also my right hinge makes strange noise when I'm pulling matrix up and down - some cracking noise - it seems it is to tight and it's to late to loosen this hinge. I decided to buy used hinges (for cheap) and make a replacement of the right one. I bought hinges for T520 but I believe it's the same.

When I''be disconnecting LCD I will have the place to make a replacement for the hinge - I think, am I right?

The main problem for me seems to push the cables through the new hinge, I am afraid of this.
Can someone tell me - is this possible with the LCD removed to replace only the right hinge?

The hinges on T/W510 - T/W530 thinkpads sometimes ship with overtightened hinges or not enough lube. However, this is an easy fix that does not need replacement hinges.

I would recommend applying some lube first to see if it fixes the issue, before loosening the hinges.

Thanks for your answer, but the problem is that when I type something on keyboard, the screen shakes a little bit, which makes me angry ;D It's especially on the right side, but it may be my eye I will try your advice though
