MBP LCD Hinge Creaks

[tehdee]

i'm blessed with a low-heat, reasonably un-whiney mbp. however, the right hand side of my screen creaks when i open the screen to various angles. it sounds like the tin man from wizard of oz.

short of dorothy greasin' me up, what's a guy to do? is it worthy of sending away to apple? no apple stores here in the east coast of Canada, and the nearest apple reseller is a uni book store. i don't want some kid taking my baby apart....

any help?

Take it in.

You might not have it, but in the end you'll have a perfect MBP, which are two words uncommonly seen together.

They handle computers very well from my experience. Never seen one come back scratched up or messed up in any way.

thank you kindly for your help.
do you think they'll put on a new part? will they simply grease the hinge? replacement model even!?!? so many questions...

Um....probably grease the hinge.

You can do it yourself if you want.
