i'd like my hinges to be stiffer/have more friction. any tips or should i get replacement from ebay? they're kinda pricey though, over $40 plus shipping

Its been doing this for a while. Just wondering if I should buy a new set of hinges or maybe a new lid?
I purchased a new lid and hinges from eBay for my XPS WLED M1330. I currently have the red cover, but the X on the XPS logo peeled off and was lost, so I bought a new black one. It is just the lid and hinges, not the screen.

View 7 Replies View RelatedMy 640M is still working fine but the LCD hinges seem to be a little loose. i.e. if I tilt the laptop a little, the lcd seems to bend on either side I bend it upon.
I noticed that my friends' laptops - Dell inspirons but newer models ( 14, 1420) etc do not have this loose LCD hinges.
I dont remember if the hinges were loose when a new laptop arrived, but its been about 3 years now and I notice this
I have had my M1530 for abut half a year. At the very beginning I noticed that the screen is not very stiff, for example I the screen lid can be moved by about 2 cm almost with no effort (with one finger) also the he hinges (the bar inside) moves up few millimeters when closing the lid.
It's noticeable when looking at the hinge, and also I can feel that from the force used to move the screen for first 2 cm. The problem des not seem to increase and for the first time I thought its normal, but some time ago I saw an identical XPS without that problem.
I just purchased the Acer Aspire AS1410-2920 laptop from Newegg.com, and it arrived in the mail yesterday. I'm very much in love with this laptop, but I noticed right away that the hinges on it appear to be loose. If the laptop is sitting on my desk and I just use it like normal, it seems fine to me. But, the second I get up with it the display falls down (away from the keyboard area), and it did this while I rode my train into the office.
I contacted Newegg.com about doing a replacement via their online chat system, and of course they said I have to call them in order to get the RMA and UPS shipping label. Then, I have to ship the product back and I won't get a replacement for 7-10 business days AFTER they receive & process my return. Talk about a hassle but I suppose that's how it is anywhere you go. My biggest concern is that I may receive another new 1410 that has the exact same problem with loose hinges.
Has anyone here experienced loose hinges on their 1410?
Are the hinges on your 1410 nice and firm? I have a friend who has a smaller Acer netbook (9" screen), and the hinges on his are extremely firm in that there's no give if you shake it (not that I would shake my laptop on a regular basis).
Does yours have a plastic kind of film on the hinges? Can I peel this off? Why is it there?

It seems that these items have been discontinued, so maybe some suppliers have that part in stock if i'm extremely lucky...
As the title says I'm looking for some new parts.
I'm currently in need of new:
LCD hinges
fans
palm rest
mouse buttons
Anyone know the part numbers for these or could you reference me to a parts list or online site that would sell these parts?
Trying to get rid of these questionably useful programs -- but I don't see entries for them in add/remove programs in the control panel (or for any of the other useless VAIO software packages that come on OEM machines sans "fresh start")

I have a VAIO VGN-SZ75GN, bought about 8 months ago, and now I want to exchange the built-in hard-disc with a solid-state disc.
I need some guide with illustrations/pictures, how to reach the disc
I have just been given a VAIO PCG8A2M (GRX316MP) , i was told "it's broken but if you can fix it yo can have it" so having a quick look at it there's no sign of life on the display but the lights come on and i can here the HDD heads moving about.
Looking a little more i found that all the ram is missing , so now im not sure if its worth buying some ram to see if it works or not ? The lack of ram would prob explain the lack of display but i wonder if i should be getting POST beeps at least, which im not.
So my question is if a VAIO had no ram should (if all else was working) it be getting POST beeps ?
Just performed a successful XP downgrade on my Vaio Z520, but have noticed that on this copy of the Vaio Silver Desktop Theme/Appearance doesn't exist.
I had it on my SZ and loved it over the XP Blue. Is there a way to get it back? I still have the restore discs from the SZ.
I don't know whats the diference (besides the price), between VAIO TZ295N & VAIO TZ395N. Specs in all the websites I've checked say they have exactly the same components: Intel coreduo 1.33Ghz 2GB RAM DVD-RW and 64GB SSD Hardrive. I was wonder if the diference might be in the hard drive interface, with the TZ295N being PATA and TZ395N being SATA.

The reason I'm asking is because I'm seriously thinking of selling my VAIO Z690 & just buying the base Sony VAIO Z (VPCZ112GX/S). I may just be able to afford that base model & the icing on the cake will definitely be the UJ-232A drive being able to fit into the (new) VAIO Z series & work.
Am planning to get a sony laptop for me. The design simply rocks I am getting mixed reviews about cw and E series. But i made up my mind to get one.
My budget is aroung 40000rupees. Thats around 800$. So suggest me a better one between these two for occasional moderate and less(mosltly) demanding games. I dont care whether its 14 or 15 inch.
Am looking at lower end versions of both the models.
Only difference is CW uses Nvidia Geforce 310 and the E series uses some Radeon 5000 series one. CW has 14 inch screen whereas E series has a 15.5 inch screen. In the models which i am looking at both have matte finish and both has WXGA:1366 x 768 VAIO Display.
which one should i go for. whether the screen quality will be on par to Inspiron one atleast? ( I dont need HD).
im planning on using the laptop for videos, photoshop and a bit of gaming, maybe even a bit more gaming :-)
The Vaio F Series only has 330M Nvidia Graphics Card with i7QM and up to 8GB of Ram and up to 256GB SSD.
The E Series has ATI 5650 (a less powerful version, reduced clock speed) combined with a i5 520M with up to 6Gb of Ram and up to 500GB of HDD ? Why can i not choose SSD ?
if I can use the AC Adapter of a Vaio TT on the Vaio Z. The standard AC Adapter that comes with the Vaio Z is of 19.5V and the one for the Vaio TT is of 16V, which I don't know if it's enough for the Vaio Z to function properly or if there could be any problem or damage. Both machines have batteries of 10,8V.
I have an undervolted Vaio Z by the way (last multiplier at 0.9875) so I don't know if this could help in any way for my Z to work ok with the TT AC Adapter.

Are they even needed when upgrading to Win7 RTM x64
I have this "problem" since I got my Z. When I start vaio update 3 utility I get this error "messageID=0008" there are no updates for your model bla bla...
However when I go to vaio support page, there are some new updates for my Z590N model (new Bios, USB patch...)
I have downloaded new version of Viao Update utility 3.2.something but I had to uninstall my current version (3.1.something), which I did. However when I started this new setup message poped up "there is no previous version installed" - abort.
I have checked esupport page where is said if you have problems with Vaio Update 3, to download Sony Shared Library which suppose to contain vaio update utility), I run installation but it doesn't install Vaio Update 3
Now, I can live with this esupport page regular visit updates,
Whats the major difference between 16.4" VAIO Display (1600x900)

View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently discovered that my Vaio Z will go completely silent (the fan turns off ) after about 10 sec the HDD has turned off..
And, as soon as i click somewhere and the HDD is read again, the fan goes back on. (you can try this by defining the hdd to turn off after 1 min in the power management and closing as much processes as you can,
then watch resource monitor for example, where you can see the disk usage
