Many laptops have plastic coverings on their hinges. You can can pop these off with a screw driver and sometimes you can reach the screws to tighten the hinges from here. You may be able to tell if the hinge is broken from here as well. Many times, though, the screws holding the hinges in place are located on the bottom and you will have to remove the portion of the case that is covering them. This usually means the entire lower portion of the laptop case to access these screws.

Broken Inspiron 1525 Lid

hello

To fix your laptop follow the steps given below.
  • First of all as your hinges are broken you have to buy a pair of hinges for your laptop model.
  • This hinge includes the whole assembly made up of metal with a part which attaches your screen to the laptop.
  • Now you have to open up your laptop from the backside and disassemble the upper side.
  • This will make you see the part which detaches tour screen from the laptop.Just remove the screws and your screen will be completely detached.
  • now you can replace the damaged hinges with the new one.
  • you have to remove four screws for one hinge.Two screws supporting the screen and two attaches the screen with the laptop.
  • so remove these screws and replace the hinges and pack the laptop again.
And the lines are basically due to the movement of loose connector. So while fixing please fix the connector also.

Thank you

The hinges for the screen on my Sony TR1MP have

Unfortunately hinges are not repairable, so:

Buy hinges from here and replace them.

Unfortunately i can't find any service manual for TR1MP, so you should sort it out how to do it.

I just can say that you will need to remove palmrest, screen bezel, lcd screen to get access to hinges.

Wobbly Laptop Screen

Raven,

This is not for the faint hearted and because there are many types of different hinges used i cant be absolutley specific but here goes any way :)

You will probably need to lift the caseing aroung the top of the keyboard, then the caseing around the screen. There generaly lots and lots of small screws involved and some locking tabs.

I find the best way to deal with the locking tabs is to tease them open with something like a jewellers screw driver and then use

You should then be able to get to the hinges for the screen. The main problem I've seen with loose hinges is the plastic fixes for hinges have broken and the screws have fallen. If this is the case there isnt a great deal you can do other than replacing the screen caseings.

Hope this helps, if you need any more assistance please dont hesitate to ask.

Regards

Nick

Cracked front cover at hinges

What does work is this-
Superglue the cracked lid as you WILL have one of these if you are reading this post- dont rush, I did about 10 glue applications over a few days to let it set correctly.
Next remove the offending hinges. You will see to spring/pressed steel curves in the body of the hinge, Next hack saw one (the outer is easier to get to) of these off, this frees the hinge up very well. Worked for me so give it a try

Broken screen hinge/collar

You can purchase replacement hinges and hinge covers here: http://www.mundocorp.com/m275.html They may be a bit of work to replace. But short of replacing the hinge assembly, it doesn't sound like that is going to move.
