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.
This question was solved.

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.

G7-2340dx Screen / Hinge / Shell replacement

I got my G7 a little over a year ago with income taxes. Fast forward to the end of the warranty, and right before Warranty expired, I had to replace the battery, and then the HDD, because of issues. Now, just out of warranty (and me having to get a tech support plan because of other issues), my screen is broken.
Now, I've found someone who can replace it for me, the problem is getting the parts. I've looked on the HP Part Surfer, and the parts I need are listed, but they aren't available for me to click on them to purchase.
The broken bits:
Right side plastic hinge cover. It broke last night, and I've no clue how. I don't drop, or bang the laptop around, but it broke. I woke up this morning, and popped it back into place, because it was just kinda....half-way sticking up, and I didn't think anything of it. When I opened my computer this evening, however, the screen was busted, and it has to be because of the broken hinge area.
If I'm going to get the screen replaced, I don't want it to just break again, which means I need to replace the shell / hinge cover. If I cannot get these parts, I can't do it. Anyone know where I might be able to get my hands on them?

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

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

Lower Left Screen Darker than rest, How to go about repair under warranty?

Well my lower left screen is darker than the rest of my screen on my 12" powerbook g4. My warranty is good for another 88 days but my problem is that sometimes the darkness goes away - and I'm worried that if I send it in for repair that the darkness won't be showing up and they'll just send it back to me. Is there anything I can do about this? Advice?

Welcome to Apple Discussions, Kris.
Many PowerBook screens can have some form of uneven illumination - but they will normally clear and work 'normally' after it has warmed up. How long does the uneven illumination stay? Unless the problem is evident most of the time, it is quite possible that the screen will be deemed to be within spec. My own experience with the problem, overall, is that it does not get better with time - it either stays the same or gets worse.
If you do have it inspected (either by an Apple Authorised Service Provider or by AppleCare) then you can prepare it by doing the following:
1. set the brightness to half
2. set the desktop background to Solid White in "Desktop & Screen Saver" within System Preferences
NB. Solid White is just to the right of the last colour, Solid Mint.

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.

HP Envy left side hinge / case separation

The case on my daughters HP Envy 17 is separating at the left side hinge. Recently, she noticed that each time she opens or closes the laptop, the stress from the hinge causes the case to separate and there is a popping sound.
(We can hear a small piece of metal or plastic shifting in the case if I tip it to one side or the other) The laptop has always been carefully handled and it almost never leaves her desktop.
I thought that perhaps the hinge was defective on this particular unit until I found the volume of complaints that are posted here and on locations on the internet.
I would guess that it is out of warrantee so I don't actually "expect" HP to do anything. However, given the number of complaints, it would be exceptionally wonderful if HP provide a solution for us. Up until this point, this has been a good laptop that has met our expectations. However, if we have to pay to send it in and get it repaired, we will probably choose to replace it with a laptop from another vendor.

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.

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.

Satellite Pro A - Screen hinges compatible with M series?

Does anyone know if the screen hinges for a Satellite A series would be compatible with the M series?
Cheers

Hi buddy
I think nobody here is able to answer your question because its only a user to user forum and you will not find an authorized service provider here or notebook technician Sorry!
But let me give you a word of advice: Contact the authorized service provider in your country. If you call them it takes only few minutes and I think they can answer your question.
Good luck!

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, 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.
