Hi Mario, hope it's not late yet.

I believe the problem is related to the internal (inside screen assembly) screw(s), that secures the screen assembly to the moving axis. From outside you may see only one screw per hinge ( they are covered with black rubber flat-caps), though there's another one screw (per hinge) inside, and when it gets loose it may press on the plastic and eventually lead to a crack.

In order to tighten these internal screws one needs to deattach the screen assembly, then disassmble it ( open) and after tightening the screws reverse the order. It's a little bit annoying and time consuming but it's better than watching helplessly and sorry.

For basic steps on screen deattachment -- see http://computriots.tripod.com/faq_disass.htm

Need I mention that you have to be confident in your hands ans intentions, and keep in mind, that by breaking the LCD you render your "fella" useless.

Hope it helps.
