Common Hinge Problems in Laptops:
What You Need to Know
We fix broken and malfunctioning hinges in laptops.
Laptop hinges aren’t just a problem for budget models. In fact, even higher-end laptops like the HP Envy, HP x360 series, and Lenovo Yoga series are known for having hinge issues.
The problem often arises from the thin plastic used to secure the hinges to the aluminium top lid, which can weaken over time. This is especially common to see with 2-in-1 laptops that flip over. The more that the screen assembly moves, the weaker the connection between the top and bottom halves of the laptop become.
Eventually, the plastic cracks or breaks, allowing the hinge to shift and penetrate the LCD screen, causing serious damage.
We’ve seen this happen with non-touch laptops too, so this issue affects a wide range of laptop models.
