[QUOTE="iggibar, post: 1846984, member: 97843"] The fix for this is much simpler than replacing the hinges. What you do is remove the screws to the 2 hinges while the screen is in the most open position. Unplug the screen from all related wiring. Remove the screen from the top case. Grab the hinges and open them all the way. If they look dirty/dusty- clean them. Using a bit of lube doesn't hurt. Then close the hinges past the original open position when you first removed the screws(this isn't real technical. You don't need to be exact). After all that, put it back together. The spring tension should now be reset and allow you to close the screen like normal. [/QUOTE]
