tighten hinge on inspiron 6400

chris85

Hey, I have a dell inspiron 6400 and its grand except that the hinge feels a bit loose. Does anyone know how i can have a look at the hinge and how to fix it. Not overly experienced with laptops but not afraid to open it up if needs be.

Any advice is much appreciated?

Cheers

You'll need to remove the hinge cover and have a look at the screws. Tighten if necessary. Simple to do.
