laptop is a hand-me-down from sister-in-law.

needs a few upgrades but its a good little laptop for the living room, anyways...

You can freely flip the screen back and forth about an inch no matter what the position you have the screen in.

I dont see any logical way to tighten the lid... anybody have any ideas?

thank you

where the screen hinges with the base, there will be removable plastic covers. underneath these covers there will be screw, which can be tightened

So i guess i am going to order new ones.

Thanks
