Laptop repair

scotnan

Hope this is the right section to ask this.

One of the opening/closing hinges on my laptop broke off the other day as I was closing it. The other one is still in tact and laptop is working ok but I daren't try to close it now as the frame has come away from the screen slightly at the broken end.

Does anyone have any idea if this would be an expensive repair or not. Just to give me a rough idea so I don't get ripped off when I take it in for repair.

Thanks

last time i tried to get alaptop case repaired(not hinge but whole case needed replacing)

i was quoted £125 plus(!) £100 for shipping and actually doing it!

its quite expensive but the only way to find out is ask!

That's what I'm doing, here lol. It's just so that I have a rough idea what to expect.

A lot of spares are available on eBay, what's the make and model no.?

you might find a lid or a case, or and old non-working one with lots of bits missing that you can take the case or lid from.

Worth a call i'd guess.

I wouldn't feel confident tinkering with it myself but appreciate the suggestion
