On the Lombard, do I have to open it from the bottom, or can I just pop up the keyboard? I can do a 190 rebuild pretty quickly, but I know nothing about how the Lombard is arranged, other than how to swap processors, RAM and a HD.

Thanks for the suggestion, and the hope that I won't have to buy new hinges,

I've been noticing an annoying amount of slack in my Lombard's screen hinges. To put it lightly, I have about 3/4 of an inch play when I have the screen set to any angle. It really gets annoying, which is why I'm consulting the experts. Is there any way to fix this, or is this a normal Lombard thing that just shows up with age? The reason I'm asking is because my venerable PB 190 had good, tight screen hinges, even after 10 years, yet the much newer Lombard is having issues with them. Something doesn't add up, here...

You can try opening it up and tightening the screws that hold the hinges to the case or screen. Most of the time it's the hinge itself that is loosening up but I have had a case of the hinge attachment to the case being loose.
