Also i was told that if this problem not treated in time, then sometimes we have to change the entire hinge assembly. for which u have to pay...200$...since SONY says its a user created defect.

Had the EXACT same problem. The SONY tech came over, tightened the hinge screws, and the problem was fixed.

Great laptop.

I have a z890- and I have the same hinge problem. I was too slow too get it fixed and it has cracked my entire screen.

I went to Service center and they told me that the hinge mechanism has got jammed. The guy at the bandra store (Abhay Khanolkar) in Sony Centre was very professional and knew what the problem was. He called me in few hours and told me that the machine has been fixed. I have to check tomorrow if all is well :)

@santoshrane I got my laptop back and its in excellent condition. Sony guys tightened the hinges and it feels solid now.

This video is just FYI - I hope it helps people to diagnoe the problem and get it fixed asap.
