If your macbook pro or air screen is loose or wobbly then all you need to do to fix it is to tighten some screws. Your wobble will most likely be coming from a loose hinge that attaches to the screen display itself or the hinge that attaches to the main body of the macbook. There is one hinge on either side of the screen. Once you tighten up the screws you will have no more wobble and the lid to your mac will work as good as new. A minor correction: this is a mid-2012 macbook pro in this video.

Also, if you want to help prevent the hinge screws from getting loose more quickly in the future you can consider using thread lock on the screws* → amzn.to/3LoJ5Ub
