DV6 damage repair: Screen hinges

Well to put it simpley, my DV6 screen was opened past its limit, and ripped off. This thing sat for quite a while, I didnt want to mess with it, until yesterday I found that it still works fine, other than a small gouge in the screen corner .. Sooo... I'd like to see if I can get this thing back together.
The hinges come out of the laptop, and have a plate going inward and outward. The outward flanges were ripped off and still attatched to the screen itself. The thicker, inner flanges ripped the screw bosses out of the plastic back cover.
I attempted to rig it up via JB weld, but the plastic is just too weakened to even temporarily hold the screen long enough to attempt epoxying the other side of the hinge back together.
Had the outward hinge flanges that the screen itself mounts to not broke off, I would get a new screen back cover and swap everything out. But, since the metal hinges themselves need to be replaced, I'm lost. Is this something I could do myself? I'm sure if I browse around I can find a schematic or something that might give me some clues. Has anyone done this type of repair before? I'm not really that worried about the plastic hinge covers, but there may be other bradded or plastic welded pieces I may not be able to replace..
You'd figure by now, man would know to hide his valuables before breaking up with crazy girlfriend..
This question was solved.

Hey AndrewH85,
I see that you're having an issue with the screen and hinges.
The best way to go here is to probably find a tech to replace it for you.
This is far more complicated than a lot of people think especially if you have an issue with the LED/LCD inside the screen.
Now, I don't advise you to replace it yourself. You can call HP @18004746836 and see if they have any option to help you repair it.
THX buddy !

HP DV6 Screen hinge broke

Hi,
I have a HP Pavillion DV6-3225dx running Windows 7 (64 bit). The left screen hinge is broken, there is a threaded metal tube that came out and some of the plastic of the sides have broken off too. I haven't made any physical modifications to the computer. It is out of warrenty (ended April 2012). Is there any way that I can fix this without forking over a ton of money?

Service Manual
You can perhaps find the hinges cheaper on ebay....I grabbed the first one I could find but I saw single hinges as low as $7. The job is modestly difficult. The manual will show how to do it. Replacing the hinges will stop the plastic damage. However, if the mounting points for the hinges is damaged, you will be forced to buy a new lower casing which is a little expensive. Otherwise, you do not have to replace the lower plastic casing but you may want to do it for aesthetic reasons. If you have to replace the lower housing, the big job becomes a really big job.

U430 Touch Screen Hinge

I got the Lenovo U430 Touch in late August and have noticed that the screen hinge wasn't very sturdy but it was still working fine. But today the hinge is broken and I can't close the screen properly without adjusting it. I didn't drop it or damage it and I looked it up and saw that other people were having similar issues and saying it was a production failure. Is there anyway I can get a replacement or do I have to send it in for repairs? I'm in college and I'll be needing it for a couple more weeks so I can't send it in for repairs yet. And is the $99 fee not covered by the warranty? I called Lenovo support and they said they can't look at my laptop until I pay the fee. I feel like the quality of Lenovo has declined recently. Any help would be appreciated.

This just happened to me this morning! For those of you that were working with it broken for a while...did the break impede your daily use in any way beyond the inconvenience of the hinge function? I'm teaching in Romania right now (ironically, I bought this model specifically so it would be easier to travel with) and won't be back home in the U.S. for over a month so I can't exactly send it to be fixed right away. Am I going to damage it further if I keep using it? Edit: I'm also out of warranty, AND I noticed a month or two ago that my screen stop auto-rotating whenever I tried to flip it (which wasn't often at all, so I still don't know why my hinges would break so suddenly). Am I going to end up paying for these repairs?

U430 Touch Screen Hinge Issue

Hi,
I have U430 Touch Screen Hinge issue, but lenovo service agents are not responding even if I give them the reference of below forum. Can you please help me resolve this issue as the laptop is under warranty (bought on december 2014)and it was not damaged. It was used last night and then just closed and kept on the bed. When I returned and tried opening it, I had this hinge issue. Please help me get this issue resolve at once.

Hi, This is the third time I called them but they are persistent that it is not cover under warranty for U430T. I do understand that if it is an accidental damage then it will not be covered. But my point is, from my end, there was no damage on the laptop and simply closed it and tried opening it after a while caused it. Furthermore refering to the post link, it is mentioned by Amy Tuper that if it is under warranty and cause is not by damage contact support. It is also mentioned that Lenovo launched an investigation in which it was concluded that there was mount failure on this model. So, my question is, isn't there a possibility that this defect could have been the mount failure issue ? Last call, they state that it is just for U530T even when the post says it is for both U430T and U530T. People on the same post have posted that they got it repaired by Lenovo for free. I am not sure what to believe, the post posted by Lenovo or the support service ? Can you please escalate the issue as it is hampering my day to day work. Awaiting reply from your end.

Netflix damage iPad screen?

Hi, I've heard and read that diaplaying static images could cause damage a screen, and that's my concern
Hi, Recently got an iPad 2 mainly to watch netflix and also bought an Apple Digital AV adapter today so I can watch it on my TV.
The thing is that if I start to playback a movie with the Digital AV pluged in, the movie displays in the tv and a static red Netflix logo is displayed on the ipad.
And as far as I saw, that image won't go away. And he ipad will stop the playback if it gets locked.
Will my iPad screen get damaged by using the netflix app and the digital AV adapter?
Thanks so much in advance.

It will cost you approximately US$219.00 to US$299.00 depending on the model.
Apple will replace the entire iPad; they don't repair.

Tecra M5 - How to remove Screen Hinges

Hi,
I need to replace the screen hinges (well one of them anyway)
I have the maintenance manual and hte computer in bits.
The manual says "Remove the hinge (left) while sliding and turning it." but no matter how hard I wiggle/slide/turn I cant get it out.
Same problem with the one on the other side.
Anyone ever done this and have any tips or know of an instructional video somewhere?
TFAI

Hhhmmm - I'm not sure. Yes, of course, you can screw up and I wouldn't do it on stuff that was precious but this is the first time I've been stumped and I've done a CPU, a fan, a reflow with a hot air stripper and a couple of new screens over the years all on the basis of the manuals. Jolly good they are too.
Anyway, if I don't find an answer in a couple of days, i'll reverse the repair process (I was going to replace the entire section but now I'll have to take some bits (speakers, touchpad etc) out of the replacement part and put them in the original and hope the rest works :-)
Anyway, I'll post again if I find the answer to the hinge problem.
Thanks for your interest

V5-571P screen hinge

Hi All, I've had my Aspire V5-571P for a while and I love it. However with heavy use over the last few years, naturally the screen hinges suffer a little bit. My predicament is that the hinge is fine, but the actual connection (be it glue, or screws) between the screen and the case have become worn and eroded, to the point where the hinges can only support the screen at a certain angle. Picture (not sure why its rotated..): So the top of that hinge would usually be connected or welded in some way to the screen casing. My question is what do I need to do to fix it, and am I able to order any parts so that I can install it manually myself? Thanks.

Hello, You'll need this part to repair your laptop:60.M48N1.004COVER.LCD.SILVER.WITH.HINGE.NONE 3G

Screen hinges loosen fast?

I got my powerbook g4 last april. The screen was always loose, just never took it in. I took it in last Feb. Then took it in again a few weeks ago. I know the display will be loose by the end of the month. The warranty will run out april 7th. I know that there is a 90 day warranty on each repair. I was wondering if anyone else with the Power Book G4 15" Aluminum have been experiencing these issues with the display hinges, also instead of just repairing, which will just continue for A very long time will they give me store credit or replace it?
Thanks for the help.

The reason that im not getting applecare is that it is $350. Also own a ibook G4 use it very much, and the screen hinges are very tight on it after 3 years. Do you suggest I call apple on it? I mean I have A 8yr old gateway laptop that I used to use so much, and the screen is still very tight on it. It really bugs me how much I will need to take it in to apple. I know that this is the major weak spots on most laptops, but it seems like the powerbooks (at least mine) is very bad. I take very good of this power book. Thanks for the help.

Hp pavilion g6-2217CL left screen hinge

My left screen hinge has for some time now been tearing apart the base of the laptop. I purchased it back in June of 2013 and do not know what is wrong. My laptop freezes when trying to boot as well now due to this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can not afford to replace this laptop at this time.

MacBook Pro Screen Hinge Tightened?

Can anyone confirm that the new MacBook Pro's (purchased recently) have the screen hinge tightened?

I have a new MacBook Pro 15" produced in 2008, week 51. It has this same problem with the hinge. As long as the MacBook is sitting flat, the screen will stay put. However, if the base of the MacBook is tilted at 45 degrees or more the screen will close until it is a couple of inches from being fully closed.
Many people don't care about this and ask why anyone would want to do that. However, for me and others who like to use their MacBook while lying on a bed with knees drawn up, this presents a problem. I consider this lack of tension in the new MacBook Pro hinge to be a design flaw.
I've tried this with older 13" MacBooks and older 15" MacBook Pros (from early 2008) and none have this problem. Those models have stiff hinges that hold their position no matter the orientation of the MacBook.
Has anyone learned whether or not it is possible to adjust the tension in the hinge? I have heard of people having the hinges tighted in older MacBook Pros but I have not heard for the latest MacBook Pro models.
Thanks,
John

Will bright light (camera flashlight) damage the screen?

I opened the flashlight application in my mobile phone which utilizes the in-built camera flash. It's pretty bright and I've used it to take a look at my MBPr's screen up close. I put the computer in sleep mode and flashed the light directly at certain areas on my screen.
I'm curious though. Will this damage my screen? I didn't notice any change afterwards (I used the flashlight for about 5 - 8 minutes).
Thanks in advance.

No, but there should not be a reason to use that camera flash to take a picture of the display.
The OP was not taking a picture.
He simply used the camera flash as as a flashlight (hence the "Flashlight" term/app).

Is it possible to damage iPhone screen by pressing too hard?

I have an iPhone 5s and I take really good care of it and want it to last a long time. I have an Otter Box and a screen protector and stuff to keep it in good condition. Sometimes, if I press the screen a little bit harder than usual, I notice that it looks liquidy for a second and the colors become wavy and distorted for a moment. The condition goes away after I release the pressure. Could I be damaging the screen when this happens?

dsyanick wrote:
But is it possible to damage the screen by pressing too hard, regardless of whether you have a screen protector?
Absolutely. You're talking about a glass screen over sensitive electronic components. It would be rather difficult to do with a finger, though.

What will be the cost for iphone 5 replacement which is in warrenty but accidentally damaged.not screen it's just back glass of camera,so what will be cost to fix it or replace the phone in indian rupees, USD will work.

If you are in India, contact your local service center for a price quote. I don't know if Indian service centers can replace just the back glass or if they will need to replace the entire iPhone. To locate a service center, see:

Make sure you select "iPhone" for the product time. Only certain service centers can handle iPhones.

Satellite Pro A300D-131 - warped casing and screen hinge scratches

Has anyone experienced a warped casing around the power button, mine is raised a good 1-2mm.
I also notice that the screen hinge clearance between the hinge and body is so tight that the silver effect finish it scratched to bits. The laptop is only a couple of months old and it looks decidedly tatty already, it just looks like poor case design.
I have Satellite Pro A300D-131.

I have Satellite A300 in front of me. The notebook belong my girlfriend and it is about two months old. I have checked described areas and I didnt notice anything unusual.
To be honest I do not like this new Toshiba design because I like to have most of the ports on the back side but this new design has made by Toshiba to have more stabile screen hinges.
If you really think there is some serious problem I recommend you to contact nearest authorized service provider. They should take a look and give you advice what to do.
Discussing here on the forum will not help you much.
