Is your laptop screen constantly falling backward when you open it? It might be time to get your laptop hinges professionally repaired.
Laptop LCDs are supported by hinges that keep the screen in place when the laptop is open and allow smooth movement when you open and close the laptop. These hinges, typically two per laptop, can wear out over time and eventually become too loose to hold the screen properly.
While proper care can delay the damage, it’s not entirely preventable. Instead of considering a complete laptop replacement due to loose hinges, reach out to us. Our skilled technicians can repair your laptop’s hinges using advanced techniques, potentially saving you from the cost of a new device.
If the hinges are severely damaged, they may need replacement, which our team can also handle. We carry replacement parts to ensure quick, high-quality, in-house services. For more information or to schedule a repair, contact us today!
To determine the type of repair services you need, we categorize your laptop hinges into three main conditions during diagnosis:
**Good Hinge Quality:** A brand-new laptop typically has hinges that firmly hold the screen in place without any wobbling or movement. If you experience issues with such hinges, it often requires only a professional cleaning to remove dirt or dust that may be obstructing their movement.
**Worn Out Hinges:** Over time, constant use and friction can cause the ends of the hinges to wear out. This can result in the screen wiggling when the laptop is moved slightly. Additionally, you may notice less resistance when lifting the screen. Professional repairs at this stage can restore the hinges to optimal condition without needing a complete replacement.
**Damaged Hinges:** If your screen slams shut or bends backward when you try to open it, the hinges are likely completely damaged. In such cases, a full replacement is necessary. The damaged hinges are removed from the screen and base, and new hinges are installed in their place.
We aim to ensure that our clients never face the same issue with their laptop hinges again. After our repair and replacement services, please consider the following precautions:
- Avoid using excessive force when opening or closing the laptop screen.
- Always open the screen from the middle instead of the corners.
- Refrain from picking up or turning your laptop by holding the screen.
- Avoid leaving your laptop partially open to ensure privacy, as it can lead to hinge damage.
- Always close your laptop screen when transporting it.
Laptop hinges can get damaged for various reasons. Some of the leading causes that may necessitate laptop hinge repair include:
- **Impact damage due to rapid movement:** Quickly moving the hinges can cause friction, wearing out the ends of the hinges completely.
- **Forcing the screen backward:** Pushing the screen back too hard can lead to the hinge breaking entirely.
- **Slamming the screen:** Closing the screen forcefully may cause severe impact on the hinges, damaging their movement.
- **Falls or serious impacts:** Dropping the laptop or subjecting it to a significant impact can displace the hinges from their correct position.
- **Corrosion:** Regular use is crucial, as leaving the laptop in a single position for a long time can cause corrosion of the internal steel.
Hinge repairs can be costly due to the delicate nature of the task. The exact cost can vary based on the extent of damage and the make and model of your laptop. However, it's crucial to note that the screen is usually not damaged when hinges are faulty. Since hinges are separate from the actual LCD, there is no need to replace the screen if only the hinges are affected.
