Laptop Hinges Repairs
One of the most common laptop issues is broken or loose display hinges. Many consumer laptops are built with cheaper plastic, and over time the hinges can pull away from the frame. If the screen is still intact, you can save it with timely repairs. At Fix My Laptop Brisbane, we specialise in laptop hinge repair for all brands and can replace or reinforce faulty parts before they cause more damage.
Plastic-bodied laptops sold in retail stores are especially prone to hinge issues. The hinges are usually made from metal, but the surrounding plastic is the weak point. Once it cracks, the lasting solution is often to replace the display lid or palmrest assembly, as quick fixes rarely hold up in the long term.
If your laptop is older, replacement parts can be hard to source. Even when available, the same issue can reappear. At Fix My Laptop Brisbane, we offer a cost-effective alternative by reinforcing the hinges with longer screws. While this may not restore the original look, it will keep the hinge secure and prevent further damage.
Hinge reinforcement generally costs between $120 and $250, depending on the model, whether it has a touchscreen, and how many hinges need repair. A full lid replacement is the more permanent fix, typically adding $150 to $200. In many cases, these parts need to be ordered from overseas, so repair times may extend by one to three weeks.
