Hello, thank you for taking the time to read my inquiry. I just purchased a refurbished MacBook Pro 2019 16inch from eBay and immediately noticed the screen is a bit too wobbly? I'm wondering if this is normal for this model type or if the hinges need to be tightened? The screen wobbles quite a bit when I type on it, not enough to annoy me but to know it's going to become a problem.
I paid a decent amount of money for this unit and it's covered under ebay 1 year warranty but I have to wait 6 months before I can send the unit in for a repair. I'm wondering if I should just return it and ask the seller for a unit with a tighter screen/display? I can see this becoming an issue and damaging my screen sooner than later? I previously owned a 2015 MacBook pro 15 inch and the hinges/screen were just perfect. Never had an issue opening/closing or having the screen wobble on me.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you 🙏🏼[br]

Update* after playing around with the screen a bit more I think the hinges are actually screwed in perfectly but the screen still wobbles? I found this out by opening and closing the lid a couple times and feeling the friction of the lid as I pulled it up and down. If the hinges were loose the screen would probably be a lot easier to pull up and down but thats not the case. I think maybe its just a common issue thats not actually an issue?

If the hinges were loose the screen would probably be a lot easier to pull up and down (with less tightness and friction) but thats not the case.
