laptop hinges
I am reposting this from my local board - hoping some tech savvy chicas can help me out!
Both hinges on my Dell laptop have bit the dust. It is 4-5 years old and everything else works great. Is there a way to have them fixed? Is it worth it? or should I start looking for a new one...
Thanks for any advice you can give!
Re: laptop hinges
No, you probably can't have the hinges "fixed." You can, however, for minimal cost (~$20), purchase new hinges and replace the old ones. This tutorial is for a specific Latitude model, but you'll get the idea:

Assuming you are not comfortable doing this and can't sucker a tech savvy friend into disassembling and reassembling your laptop, you can probably find a computer repair store where you live (Dell-authorized warranty repairs places will still repair older computers not under warranty). No idea how much this sort of thing costs, but I can't imagine it would be more than $60. Worth it...up to you. Worst case scenario $100 vs. cost new laptop.
Hope this helps!
