Lid hinges are too floppy! Help!

[soundsystem00]

Hey! I have an early 2014 Macbook Air, the cheapest one at the store, which was the 10 ( or 11 ) inch model. I love it. It's the best laptop I have ever had. The only complaint is that the hinges are floppy! I am sure there is a better way to describe this problem, but that is all I got.

I will describe what happens. When I open the Macbook Air and the lid ( screen portion ) is fully upright, the slightest movement ( picking it up, scooting back in my chair, subtle desktop drum beats on the keyboard ) will cause it to fly all the way back! It has been this way from day one, so I know it has nothing to do with the way I have treated the computer, which is extremely nicely and carefully.

I was hoping there is some 3rd party company, or perhaps even a service Apple has, that can tighten the hinges or whatever is wrong so that the screen portion of the laptop is tighter and more stable. This is the only issue I have ever had with this computer.

Well the battery life definitely isn't 8 hours but I will save that for another thread. I have read alot on this and have found a couple diagnosis's and fixes that could help, but anything on THAT would be greatly appreciated too.

Thank you so much for reading and I look forward to seeing what people come up with. Thanks a bunch!

I think Apple store can fix this kind of problem.
