Toshiba SA40-720 Screen Hinges?
My Grandad comes around today, and lumps his laptop on my table.
I open the screen latch, and it falls straight backwards, refusing to support itself. I don't have any experience with laptop repairs of this nature, so is it just a simple case of tightening the hinges to the screen, or would they need a total replacement? Thanks |

For that particular model of Toshiba laptop, you should be able to fix the hinges yourself - that is, if the hinges are still intact. If the hinges are entirely missing or damaged, you will need to take this to Toshiba since that is a damage on the laptop structure/chassis. Usually, for Toshiba laptops similar to yours, the structural screws should screw in on the far sides of the screen - the outsides.

Hi, sorry about the late reply.
Taken the screen apart to show the hinges, and they definitely look broken. Seen as though it is out of warrenty, would there be any change of purchasing hinges to fit myself, or would the only real option to be to send it to a service centre? Thanks |
