A broken hinge rarely stays a small problem. Each time the lid opens, the loose mount pulls on the case and the screen cable, and in the end cracks the screen or breaks the display connection. We repair hinges and the plastic mounts they screw into before that happens.
Hinge faults we repair
- Hinges that are stiff, loose or won’t hold the screen up
- Hinge mounts snapped away from the base or lid
- Lid or base splitting open near the hinge
- Screen flickering when the lid moves, caused by a pinched cable
- Cracked bezels and palm rests
Where the plastic posts have broken off, we rebuild them or fit a replacement lid or base. We tell you the options and prices before starting.
We diagnose the fault on the bench and agree the price with you before any work starts. Many repairs are finished the same day when parts are in stock, and all come with a 3-month warranty.
Questions we get asked
My hinge is only a bit stiff. Should I wait?
No. A stiff hinge is often the first stage of the mount breaking. Fixing it early is usually much cheaper than replacing a cracked lid or screen.
Which laptops have this problem most?
We see it most on HP Pavilion and 250 models, Dell Inspiron and Dell 15, Lenovo IdeaPad and ASUS VivoBook laptops.
