I just bought this laptop last week and I was thinking of returning it because of loose hinges. Despite of awesome features, this hinge problem is a deal breaker for this model. Thank You for posting this article. This gave me a hope and thus I am keeping the laptop.

Thank You, it was easy to repair. The only Problem is the strengh of These hinges - too strong, too loose….
