#1 Post by Kingwulf » Thu May 05, 2005 4:15 am

Hi,

I just notice that in my 2373GVU T42P laptop there is cable or someting inside the thick hinge (left one).

Is this normal?

I dont have digital camera so Ic ant post the picture.

It would be nice if someone could post detail picture of the T42P hinge

Inside the bigger metal hinge.
Yeah I think its a cable for wireless and blutooth I believe.

The LCD on my T42P is kinda loose, is there any way to tighten the hinges?
Thanks,

nothing that I would mess with.. if they are very loose, I would consider sending it in for service, or waiting till something else needs attention....

WiFi and BT antennae in the left hinge on 14.1" displays. On the 15' displays the BT antenna is in the right hinge.
