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....

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.

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.
