Laptop Screen won't stay open

[jonk9090]

Latop won't stay open any longer from normal wear and tare. I have to use a pillow to support the screen. Is this a simple fix adjusting some screws? Or will i need parts you think? I tried to get to the screws but had some problems. Do i need special tools? I own a Micron MPC T2000. Please help. Thanks.

Sometimes it's just a screw. Sometimes it's a metal coil that holds it together. The only way to really tell is pop off the hinge covers and check it out.

Usually, the hinge covers can just be pried off with a flat bladed screw driver, or similar, but you won't know until you've popped those hinge covers off.
