Macbook hinge really squeaky

[bill4588]

Ever since I got my replacement MB C2D, I've noticed that the hinge is very squeaky. It makes noises every time I adjust the screen or pick it up. My old MB used to do this a little bit, but this is driving me nuts. Any suggestions on a quick fix?

if your feeling really gutsy, open her up and oil the hinge.

if your not, take it to an AppleCenter, tell them that its squeaking, and they can do the oiling

My neck makes a squeaky noise sometimes!

Anyway I use WD40 on anything else that squeaks - usually sorts it!

Step 1 - Get 4 pounds of butter.

Step 2 - Empty butter in a container that will comfotably fit your macbook.

Step 3 - Melt the butter in the container.

Step 4 - Unplug your macbook, power it down and remove your battery.

I had that problem and honestly nothing worked.

The reason nothing works is that it's not the hinge squeaking. It's the plastic hinge cover that is rubbing against the main unit because it was assembled improperly by a tiny bit.
