Grumble. My laptop’s LCD hinge has gotten really loose, which is annoying because now it doesn’t properly support its own weight when open. What I need is the opposite of WD-40, something that will make the hinge more sticky but still work. WD-39, perhaps?
[UPDATE] a google search for people with similar problems has given me the idea of using strips of velcro so it can be adjustable. Will head down to Home Despot tomorrow to pick some up.

WD+40, duh.

Honey. Or maybe a silicone grease.

fuffy: that is of course a brilliantly awesome suggestion. ;-)
Iain: hmm, I’m a bit leary of putting honey on expensive electrical equipment. Perhaps I’ll look into silicone grease though, depending on how my velcro idea works out. Thanks!
