How to tighten hinge on Precision M4700?
It seems that the lid hinge on my M4700 has gotten looser over the 5 months I had owned this laptop.
I would like to tighten it but I am not quite sure what the procedure is?
I did try to tighten the two screws below the hinge at the left and right back corner, but it will not get any tighter.
Any solutions to this? Thanks!

Hi skstrials,
It’s possible the screws that hold the systems LCD cover hinges to the chassis base can become loose creating some give* when opening and closing the systems lid. I would suggest checking on these screws first before you replace the hinges.

Call and have the hinges replaced under warranty.

The 3 screws under the Bezel also need tightening, if that does help ,then the first responder is correct.
