Re: Lombard screen hinges

[Alan Miller]

Both my Pismo and Lombard have a almost an inch of play in them if  
measured at the top. I have had the lombard apart to the hinges on  
the bottom to replace the power board. The screws for the bottom of  
the hinges are on the rear of the PB. Looking at the ServManual the  
display end of the hinge is much harder to get to as you must first  
remove the display and then open it. I really never gave it much  
thought on either of my machines as the hinges are still stiff and  
hold the screen where I want it. They just have a little play in  
them

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.

Re: Lombard screen hinges

[Caleb Cupples]

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,

Lombard screen hinges

[Caleb Cupples]

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.

Well, thanks in advance,
Caleb
