Hi, I have a white macbook that I bought off of ebay... Well I'm glad to say everything seems to be working well on the computer... The macbook does have a loose hinge on the right side which the guy did mention that on his ad... There doesn't seem to be any cracks around the hinge... Is there any directions on this forum to take the LCD off so I can look in there and see what the problem might be? Unless there was any kind of recalls for my model for problems like this? The LCD is still working great and it doesn't seem to affect the LCD just a little loose and sometimes wants to fall back if its moved around too much on my lap...

Go to:

iFixit: The free repair manual

...they may have a a procedure to remove the display.

You actually take the top case off to adjust the hinges on those MacBooks. It's reasonably straightforward just need to take care when detaching/reattaching the keyboard cable.

As suggested the iFixit site has a good set of instructions:
