Hey guys,

I broke the hinges of my HP laptop , and i have sent it to the main HP branch.
Anyway, they charged me 250$ for a stupid plastic part . I checked out at ebay and amazon , and i found out that the whole screen plastic including the hinges worth 35$ . I dont have experience in buying online , so i need some advice please.
Please use the existing topic if necessary.
AvoK95 used to work / is still working as a PC technician. He has had a similar experience with broken hinges. I am not sure if it's an HP laptop or a Toshiba laptop, but he has experience with those. You might want to check with him. I'll look up the relevant topics now:
Changing the hinges yourself is a little bit risky , because you have to take apart the laptop to get to the screen , then you have to take the screen apart and then take the hinges apart from the screen and this is risky because your screen will have a very delicate cable behind it , and if something happens to that cable your image will be ruined.
Even though it's really expensive to fix it , I suggest letting HP fix its own problem.Especially if it's hinges because it's really hard to find them. I have a HP Pavilion zv5000 with broken hinges and I could find any in Lebanon , so I improvised by drilling holes into the back body and install hinges from another laptop from the outside...
Also I have discussed this topic before.
