my macbook slid from my hand the other day and hit perfectly such that the hinge no longer offers any resistance. if i open the lid it either falls closed or falls farther back than it did before the drop. the screen is wiggly and this thing is way past warranty. any ideas? im having to type this with one hand as the other hand must hold the macbook open, and it is quite annoying.
