BROKEN HINGE GATEWAY LAPTOP TB120

  • Anonymous May 08, 2009

    The single hinge in the middle that rotates the tablet around has stopped working in the function that holds the monitor upright. It now flaps down when opened.

Search "gateway e-155c lcd swivel assembly" on google or any other search engine and you will find the part that you need.
You will need to do your own replacement, but that is the part that will fix your problem

I have the same problem and repaired with purchase of a new redesigned hinge. It works beatiful, but patience is the key when taking apart a laptop.

If you're out of warranty, somebody has to open the Laptop and replace the part. The part is available on ebay. Here's a repair guide on how to disassemble a Laptop. Maybe a tech savy friend can do it for you. If you want to pay to have somebody do it for you there are third party Laptop Repair Services.

My Gateway laptop model TB120 hinge is broken. any one knows where i can buy a hinge for this model.

This may help and may not. It seems there are lots of people having the same problem you are. The best way to get a replacement seems to buy a cheap junked out Gateway and use the hinge from it. However I would be very careful doing this because the one you buy may not have a good hinge. As many people there are with these issues I would contact Gateway to see if they had a replacement part and would ask to file an official complaint. In addition here is a number to a laptop repair company, they will help you find the most cost effective way to fix your laptop. They are good I have used them for parts before. 1 (800) 999-4409

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.
