Loose Laptop Hinge
01-16-2017 10:35 AM
I notice my left laptop hinge is loose, as the screen has become wobbly and it is starting to become harder to open or close it. I am scared if I do not fix this the continous stress on the hinge will eventually cause the lcd screen to fall off the hinge and that if I do not fix this the other hinge will wear out faster by having to do all the work of the loose hinge.
I have looked everywhere online and could not find a video of how to get to the screws on my laptop.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Look at removing the top cover on page 53.

That will give you access to the hinge screws.

Thank you I will try this after giving my computer some time to cool down after I shut it off. On this I just want to make sure I am reading this right, In order to remove the top cover I also have to remove the keyboard as well?

Thank you very much for your help thus far, but also is there any video documentation on this procedure? I have never took apart a system before other than virtually for my online college classes and I really need this laptop to finish my online classes. So the thought of actually removing cables is a bit unerving.

When trying to remove the top cover one of the screws holding in the rear cover will turn but it will not come out. I think the thing holding he screw in place may be stripped, is there any way I can get this out?

Well the top cover gave me access to tighten up the screws for the hinges but the screen is stil loose and the hinge screwswere rlly tight. I think I am just going to put it back together and if the hinge causes the lcd screen to fall off than ahh well
