Hinge Repair

A loose, stiff, or cracked hinge puts ongoing strain on the display cable — left unrepaired, it often leads to a screen fault too.

Our Process

How we repair it

  1. Hinge & cable inspection

    We check the hinge mechanism and the display cable that routes through it for wear.

  2. Hinge replacement

    Hinge clutches are replaced and torque-tested to the correct resistance.

  3. Cable routing check

    The display cable is inspected and replaced if the hinge fault has caused wear.
