Wolfgang,

i ha ve a Tecra M4, it works fine but the annoying thing on it is that the screen is loose and whopply on the base of thelaptop.
Is there a way to tighten that as well?

I already took of the bottom of the Laptop Case and checked the screws i seen but all are tight.

If all screws are tight, apparently the hinge itself is getting old.
I think it’s a heavy display for this type of hinge.

Mark Soileau,
First of all, I would check the memory module, it’s possible you have a bad module. Most likely you have two memory modules installed. Try removing them one by one. Test the laptop with each memory module separately. If your laptop starts with one module but no with the other one, the last module is bad.

I have a Tecra M4 and the screen quit working, i tried to kook it up to a LCD monitor and cycle through the screen outputs and still got no signal. Does this mean my graphics card is dead? Please someone let me know what, how, and if it’s worth to fix.
