Have this laptop. The screen hinges have allot of play. Is there a way to
tighten them up? And if so, how?

I don't think you can tighten them, but my old Inspiron 7k had the
same problem and the new hinges cost about $3.00 each and replacing
them took about 10 min.

Where did you buy the hinges? Local Dell (Europe) sell them for a about $60.
