What the Service Includes
The service includes hinge condition diagnostics (play, wobble, position hold, chassis cracks near mounts), selection of compatible hinges (by part number, mounting type — screws/rivets, opening angle 135–180°, material — steel/aluminum/magnesium), full laptop disassembly (bottom cover/battery/display removal, display cable disconnection), old hinge removal (unscrewing or rivet drilling), cleaning and restoration of chassis mounting points (crack repair, metal/plastic bushing insertion), new hinge installation with precise alignment, lid/chassis geometry verification, open/close smoothness, position hold, no-creak/play testing. Often combined with laptop repair or case cover replacement.
When the Service is Needed
Hinge replacement is required for severe lid wobble or play, inability to hold screen position (lid falls or opens itself), creaking/sticking during open/close, chassis cracks near hinges, display detachment from chassis, mechanical damage after drops or screen pressure, metal hinge wear after 3–6 years heavy use. Common in plastic-chassis or weak-mount laptops (Lenovo IdeaPad, Acer Aspire, older HP Pavilion, etc.). In Khmelnytskyi we advise prompt hinge replacement to prevent further chassis destruction, display damage, cable failure, or complete lid separation.
