Hello internet people,
I have purchased a used '''MacBook Air 11" Mid-2012''' and noticed that the screen hinge is loose. It sits tight and completely fine, but once you open it up to around '''120ish degree angle''' it becomes completely loose. I've tried to tighten the hinge screws but it didn't seem to help.
I didn't manage to find anything in forums and I guess replacing the hinge wouldn't help because it seems intact and once I tightened the hinge screws it seemed to be even more tight up to 120-ish degree angle. Perhaps there's some sort of screen retainer that's broken off and could be replaced? :((
