A loose, stiff or snapped hinge gets worse every time you open the lid, and can crack the screen or case if it’s left. Fixing it early is usually much cheaper than waiting.

Signs you need this
- Lid flops back or won’t stay open
- Creaking or cracking noise when opening
- Case splitting around the hinge
- Screen wobbles
- Picture flickers as the lid moves
How we fix it
Most hinge failures happen because the screw mounts inside the case break away. We fit new hinges and rebuild the mounts so they hold, and check the screen cable that runs through the hinge, since a worn cable is what makes the picture flicker.

Questions
Can a broken hinge damage the screen?
Yes. A loose lid flexes every time it’s opened, which can crack the screen panel.
How should I open my laptop?
From the middle of the lid rather than one corner, which twists the hinges.
