I have an old Dell Inspiron 640m and recently the screen only flops over back and forth and won't stay up on its own. I watched a video about tightening the hinge screws to the laptop, but that didn't do anything. It was also suggested the problem can be the hinges themselves and I may need new ones. Any idea if this is true, or any advice? I'd love to avoid having to buy a whole new laptop if possible (despite the age on this one), but if it wouldn't help I don't want to spend $20+ on new hinges.
Thanks in advance. If someone is able to help me specifically here to save a bit of money, I'll try to reward that person via a game (though I don't have much money right now obviously, so it'd probably have to be a sale game :P)
