There is a problem to my knowlage with the lcd hing. My right hinge the one where the task bar would be. It is starting to crack open from the back where they are connected. Everytime I open mine is makes a click sound as the plastic part opens up. I dont know if this is a spread problem like with the emachenes but I take care of my notebook. Post if you have it or looks like it is going to go bad /ph34r.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='ph34r.gif' />
