Hi.
I was wondering if I should send my Vaio back for repairs, the left side hinge (where the AC adaptor plugs into) pushes in when I press it and has a slight wobble when I press it back and fourth.
I was wondering if the design is supposed to be like this or if it could become a problem (the hinge cover snapping/breaking off)
if had an HP with broken hinges and found replacements on EBAY.
If u are mechanically inclined, taking it apart and replacing them is not too bad a job. U may be able to get disassembly instructions on the sony site.
If u chose to send it back u may want to assess the total cost and the age of the unit.
Might be better buying a new computer complete with Windows 7
