 Inventors Emporium/Newton Appreciation & Links
If the hinges are too loose or stiff then you will have to remove the screen as well to extract the hinges and refurbish them.
To split the screen case easily, start at the hinge edge (bottom of the screen) and insert a pry into the rectangular slot there and use a lifting motion to prise open the first catch then slide it across and do the second one towards the centre.
To test that hinge has the right amount of friction (so that it will support the screen at any angle), clamp the hinge block in a vice, clamp a wooden pencil to the hinge flange and hang a weight of 125g a distance of 150mm from the hinge axle.

 Hinge
The strap hinge is the predecessor of the modern door hinge which, while nearly invisible to us, nestled neatly between the door jam and the inner edge of the door, is the gatekeeper of all our comings and goings.
Really if all we cared about was open or closed, the hinge would not have come to exist; we would just slide lids off and on, move doors away from their openings.
The hinge provides a range of motion that lets you safely peek through a cracked open door when a stranger knocks, or examine the contents of your freezer on a hot day.

 [Ganoksin] Jewelry Making - Other hinge pin installation options
Instead of riveting and upsetting a hinge pin to hold the hinge together, it is also possible to bevel the ends of the hinge pin itself slightly and to use a tube of a reasonable wall thickness that juts out from the edge of the hinged part a little.
The advantages of a tapered hinge pin are that it's very strong, it's a very stable type of hinge pin, and it allows you to repair a hinge quite easily; you just knock it out in the correct direction with a well-placed punch, and out it comes.
Square hinge pins are sometimes used, usually in versions of spring hinges for catches or cuff-links where there are two main positions for the hinged parts, and one wants them to move into these positions with a "snap" that one can feel and hear.

The fittings go on the ends of the hinge pins, which are drilled to allow passage of grease to the inside of the steel containment tube.
There is no other way to grease a hinge bushing and actually get the grease inside the bushing where it will do some good.
This design will allow the hinges to be greased repeatedly, plus the 100% encapsulated bushing outside diameter keeps the steel part of the hinge from wearing through the bushing form the outside.

Cheaper stamped hinges are made by pressing thin sheet metal around the pin to form the knuckle.
Extruded hinges are tighter than these pressed hinges because the knuckle is fitted together and then drilled in one shot for a precisely fitted hinge pin.
You don't want to be ready to hang a door and then realize that the hinge leaf to be mortised into the door is wider than the door stile, or that it leaves just the thinnest ribbon of wood at the back of the mortise to break away someday.

By this is probably to be understood that the pivots upon which the doors swung, and which turned in the sockets of the threshold and the lintel, were cased in gold.
In the British Museum are many examples of stone sockets taken from Babylonian and Assyrian palaces and temples, engraved with the name and titles of the royal builder; while in the Hauran doors of a single slab of stone with stone pivots are still found in situ.
Hinges, as we understand the word, were unknown in the ancient world.

 Placement of Bottom Door Hinge - Door Hinge Location - Position of Bottom Door Hinge - asktooltalk.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
You pose an interesting question and one might believe that the hinge is placed higher to allow for extra trimming of the bottom of the door, but the truth is somewhat hard to believe.
This downward viewing angle gives the effect that the hinge is closer to the floor than it really is. This optical illusion appears to balance the bottom hinge with the top hinge.
However, according to U.S. standard procedures regarding the true placement of hinges, the top hinge is placed 5" from face of frame to top of hinge barrel (hinge pin) and 10" from bottom of barrel to finish floor.

 AERADE subject listing for CONTROLS AND FLAPS - Controls - hinge moment
ESDU Aero C.04.01.01 derives the slope of the hinge moment coefficient curve against incidence for a special series of aerofoils having straight upper and lower surfaces over the rear 10 per cent of chord with a trailing-edge half angle with tangent equal to the aerofoil thickness/chord ratio.
The balance may be cut away for hinge brackets, etc. If the cut out exceeds 0.003 of chord it is recommended that a span of three to four times that of the cut out should be treated as not contributing to balance.
For the rate of change of hinge moment coefficient with incidence a value of the lift-curve slope is required and may be obtained from ESDU Aero W.01.01.05.

But in the case of a pull / pull system, on the rudder for instance, the constant tension would pull the rudder in around the area that the wire was attached and push the hinge away at the top of the rudder.
The rolling hinge is an adaptation of this method but is easier to do plus it is much better.
This hinge was named a rolling hinge because the dowel in the moveable surface is rolling around the dowel in the stationary surface.

 The PowerBook G3 Series Hinge Problem
I have disassembled and analyzed the hinge and clutch.
As you can see, there is a ribbon cable (which carries the video signal) wrapped around the clutch; when the hemi-cylinder detaches, its sharp edges may cut or wear on the ribbon cable, resulting in additional damage, expense, and loss of function.
While I cannot criticize Apple for its routing of the ribbon cable (the cable has to get from the screen to the base somehow), its vulnerability to damage from a broken clutch means that the clutch problem should be an even higher priority, both from a design and a corporate policy standpoint.

 The Work Bench -- Tubular Hinges
Essentially, the surface hinging is done with Robart Hinge Point hinges, positioned such that their pivot pins are centered within the tube.

 MacOPINION : Charles Moore | ATI Support Outrage And Screen Hinge Grumbles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
With the TiBook it isn't so much the hinges themselves, but rather that the titanium sheet metal case is too-easily damaged by trauma in accidental bumps and thumps, causing the metal around the hinges to tear, resulting in an astronomically expensive repair bill that is not covered by warranty.
Symptoms reported are a gradual loosening of the hinge over time, and then a sudden snap as the metal cuff that holds the hinge pin breaks and leaves you with a floppy hinge on one side and increased strain on the other one, whose failure will be accelerated.
Banefully, because hinge repair requires fairly major disassembly, for an Apple-authorized repair, affected PowerBooks must be shipped to Apple's Texas PowerBook repair center, and the job is subject to Apple's Tier 1 repair flat fee of $310.00 plus the technician's time, and you lose the use of your PowerBook for ten days or so.
