bleeding on corners and stiff hinges

hi, i got this 2015 pro since January, And right now, i just repaired it by replacing the gasket, rubber feet, and the battery. one thing i'm getting worried is they there's this weird yellowish backlight bleed on my corner when i choose a black wallpaper.

And also, The hinge is getting tight overtime. i kept opening it gently because the screen might crack. I still have 3 more years to graduate with this laptop.

Bleed is not uncommon with LCD displays, I would lower the brightness to reduce the effect.

As far as the tight hinges. Get some WD40 and spray some into the cap or other small container to then dip a cotton swab just getting it damp then wipe the hinges it doesn't take much.

will it tighten overtime? i have never used a WD-40 on a hinge before.

@akidevera - Hard to say if it will tighten again. The grit in the hinge is the real issue. Often a bit of lube will help move it out.
