Chromebook Hinge & Frame Repair

Chromebook Hinge Repair

Budget plastic Chromebooks, especially many Acer, HP and Lenovo models, are known for broken hinges. The metal hinges are strong, but they're screwed into small brass inserts set in the plastic case. Over time, opening the lid from one corner or carrying the Chromebook by its screen pulls those inserts loose or cracks the plastic around them.

Signs of a broken Chromebook hinge or frame

• The hinge has pulled away from the case, or you can see the hinge through a crack
• The screen bezel or back cover is separating from the lid
• The lid wobbles, flops back, or won't stay open at an angle
• The Chromebook lid won't close all the way, or is stiff and creaks
• The screen flickers or goes black when you move the lid
• A cracked or broken bottom case, corner or back cover

Stop opening it all the way

Once a hinge mount breaks, every open and close puts uneven pressure on the screen and the display cable that runs through the hinge. Keep using it that way and a hinge repair can turn into a Chromebook screen replacement. Open the lid gently from the middle, and bring it in as soon as you can.

What we repair

• Hinges: bent, stiff or snapped hinges are replaced with hinges made for your model.
• Back cover (lid) replacement: when the hinge inserts have pulled out of the lid, we replace the back cover so the hinges mount securely again.
• Bottom case or palmrest: on models where the hinges mount into the base, we replace the part they attach to. On many Chromebooks this is the palmrest with the keyboard built in.
• Bezels, hinge covers and corners: broken trim pieces and cracked corners.
• Display cable: if a broken hinge has damaged the screen cable, we replace it so the picture stays steady.
