So, I'm having some trouble putting my macbook back together. I had opened it up to replace the hard drive and cd-rom drive because they were broken. But I guess I took out the wrong ones because this hinge for the display is stuck. It's like its fused to the metal that its suppose to rotate around. So its permanently stuck in the fully up position, so I can't put the screws back in.

I'm not sure if its stuck, or its a problem with the pin on the rod. I already tried to move it, but I'm afraid to put too much force into it. Does anyone know what I'm talking about, and can you please help me?
