Screen's hinges are loosened
Hello Everybody,
I'm writing this post because my screen's hinges are loosened, the screen don't close by itself but it move on its axis. I just want to know if i can tighten it. May be by tighten a screw or something, like on the DELL laptop, or I have to change the hinges?
Thanks in advance for all answers.
Best,
Arnaud

Apple has recognized that this is a defect. If the loose hinge gives more than an inch of play, they'll replace it for free -- even if the computer is out of warranty. Here's the link to the official Apple page on the subject: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2948
From what I've read online, repairing it yourself is a pretty expensive proposition -- as I recall, you can't just tighten the hinge; you have to replace the whole screen.

I have the same problem. I followed the link, spoke with apple support, then found out that this no cost repair is for MacBook Air's only.
msjunk, it is probably best if you ask your own question. this one here seems to be a bit old (2years) and it does not look like it is visited often:-) Click on this link and give as much detail as possible. Good Luck.
