Hello to everybody...I have a problem with the HINGES of the Notebook VAIO VGN-A317M. Because of the hinges the monitor wobbles back and forth nearly two centimeters. There is no counterpoise.
I have the notebook now 8 months. Is that normal with the hinges? I am scared of that the hinges can brake. Sony tells me that is normal with the wobble, but I don`t think so. Had anybody the same problem?

Thanks for every answer!

That's pretty bad news - them telling you it's normal, I agree with Rob, thats not normal. Ask to speak to the supervisor if they don't satisfy your needs

My right side hinge has totally broken, as in the plastics that support the hinges have broken off and have broken in half so thati have to hold the right side sturdy if i want to open the lid. I can't do anything about mine though because its quite an old laptop, a PCG GR 214EP. I don't think its even worth trying to get sony to repair it under warranty, as i'm guessing its expired by now. 😞

2 cm of moment is to much, mine only moves 0.5 cm
tell vaio-link to pick it up, they just trying to get out of it, keep calling them, tell them they have to fix it,
