Unibody MacBook Pro display hinge clutch

Posted by Lori about 1 year ago

The new unibody MacBook Pro's are pretty nice from an engineering perspective. They are solid and built well, but are also a PITA to work in and have some weird quirks.

The one thing I really hate about these new macs is the tension on the display hinge clutch. The lid just wants to close on its own when left to its own weight.

It looks like the clutch for the hinge is in the display assembly. While I have no problem working inside the main body of the MacBook Pro, I can't say I am comfortable digging into the display assembly without advice.

Anyone manage to tighten the clutch for the hinge on these things?
