Screen Lid Slightly Askew - T60 14.1"

#1 Post by heyzeus123 » Thu Mar 29, 2007 1:32 pm

Does anyone have the problem with the LCD screen / lid being slightly askew / crooked / not straight on their 14.1 inch T60? Specifically, I mean that when the lid is closed, the top of the lid seems to stick out more to the right when compared to the base.

If yes, anyone know which screws I need to loosen to adjust the lid?

Regards,
Michael

Yes I noticed, but I think it's part of the design. Do some measurements and check if it is possible, first thing before screwing anything...
Cheers.

Maybe you have my problem, I have a t60p with a broken frame/roll cage above the fan outlet on the left hand side after a small drop, my screen is now skewiff.

A good test is to make sure both your hinges are rock solid. My left one wobbles as the frame is broken off in front of it. Very weak in my opinion.

Nope. My Thinkpad T60 is NEW. I checked the hinges and they are firmly attached. :D

I understand it is probably normal that the whole right side of the screen sticks out more than the left side (with the lid closed), but the problem I am seeing is that the part of the lid closest to the palmrest stick out more than the part of the lid near the hinges. :evil:
