For those having the same problem: It seems to be that the hinge connecting to the backcover often comes loose on these models since it is only glued together from the factory. The hinge then moves freely and pushes the screen forward whenever one tries to open the laptop.
For a possible repair I would refer to these posts by WiredDan who explained the problem very nicely and provided a great solution on Lenovo’s forum:
