A humble question

[santiagoyuhanqing]

Hi all. My laptop already has quite an amount of flex when I got it a couple of months ago. Now this phenomena is getting worse: when I open the screen, the laptop starts squeaking quite a bit. Today it squeaks significantly even when I move the laptop around. Does this indicate a further problem inside the laptop, or is this just a built quality thing that I can do nothing about?

Thank you.

Sounds like a build quality issue, unless you are experiencing bottlenecks or something as well. Is your laptop made of mostly plastic or metal? Plastic will have more flex than metal typically as well

sounds like the hinges are binding though, usually caused by screws working themselves out of the sockets.

It's a brushed aluminum alloy chasis.
