Screen on Inspiron E1505 Really Loose
I'm not sure if this is where I would ask but, my screen is really loose. When I slightly touch any part of the part of my laptop that holds the screen the whole thing shakes like it loosened up over the year i have had it. I'm just wondering how I can tighten it back up? Thanks

should you want to tackle this problem without ordering replacement parts...
tighten the screws near the hinges on the bottom & back of the unit. if brave you could remove the hinge cover & lcd bezel & tighten the concealed hinge screws.
these tend to loosen up over the span of a year or so. have a 1501 & fully expect to have the same issue. about 25% of my inspiron service calls have this issue & i take the 5 minutes needed to correct it.
please act quickly as possible. let it go too long & the associated plastics &/or lcd will crack.
..though if it is covered by warranty...contact dell & let them worry about the issue until it is fixed.
Message Edited by rudicollins on 07-20-2007 10:08 PM- I have this same problem. Screen seems quite loose. I replaced the hinges, but that did not fix it at all. The piece the hinge mounts to has come loose and flexes, causing the problem.Sadly, my warranty just expired a month ago so they refuse to fix that.
