This is the 2nd time my hinge has broken. First time I had Geek Squad fix it and they just sent it out to their main center instead of in store. This time I want to try to do it myself. The hing works but as I close the screen, the top cover separates from the LCD by the hinge. Do I need to replace the hinge? If so, how? Update (09/16/2019) It looks like this. I don’t even know how to get the display cover off. It almost looks like I can just attach the LCD display top better, it will work fine.
it would be great if you could show an image Is this the type of hinge you are speaking about You need to replace the hinge. trying to repair it is a not the way to go You should find one on ebay Also a screw holding it in place may be missing
