Why Repair a Broken Laptop or Netbook Hinge?
Being able to open and close your laptop is an essential feature. When your laptop hinges fail or break, you have a hard time, or are even unable to open or close the screen. If you don't fix it right away, the broken hinges could crack the LCD. This article will examine the steps a certified technician takes to repair damaged laptop or netbook hinges, so they work like new again.
Why Laptop Hinges Break
We have seen and repaired many laptops with broken hinges. Nowadays, to make laptops lighter and easier to carry, most manufacturers use plastic for the structure, such as the top and bottom frames. The screw holders that connect the hinges and frame are also made of plastic, which can't withstand too many openings and closings or excessive force while opening and closing.
How This Repair Is Done Properly
Although the issue is easy to explain, it is not easy to repair. If the LCD frame is broken, we would have to transfer the LCD and all other parts to a new frame. If the bottom frame is broken, we would have to transfer everything from the broken frame to a new one, including the motherboard, fans, and hard drives.
The repair technician needs to be very careful while transferring the parts from the broken frame to the new frame. It's crucial to align all the cables properly. If the cables are not aligned correctly, they may get damaged when opening or closing the laptop. Since the hinges are metal, they can grind against the cables, potentially cutting them or causing a fire.
