Frequently Asked Questions About Hinge Repair
How much does laptop hinge repair cost in Singapore?
Hinge repair pricing depends on your laptop brand, model, and the extent of the damage. As a guide, minor hinge tightening or adjustment starts from $60, while a full hinge replacement typically ranges from $120 to $300. Premium ultrabooks and gaming laptops (such as MacBook, Razer, or ASUS ROG) may cost slightly more due to specialised parts. We always provide a free diagnostic and upfront quote before any work begins — so there are never any surprise charges.
Can broken laptop hinges be repaired, or do they need to be replaced?
It depends on the type of damage. Loose or wobbly hinges can often be tightened and re-secured without replacing any parts, which keeps costs low. However, if the hinge mechanism is cracked, snapped, or the metal bracket is bent, a full replacement is the safest option to prevent further damage to your screen and chassis. Our technicians will inspect the hinge, surrounding housing, and LCD cable during diagnosis and recommend the most cost-effective solution for your situation.
How long does a laptop hinge repair take?
Most hinge repairs are completed within 2 to 3 hours, making same-day collection possible if you bring your laptop in during the morning. More complex cases — such as those involving chassis reinforcement or screen reassembly — may take 4 to 6 hours. Walk-ins are welcome at all 5 of our Singapore locations, and you can also call ahead to book an appointment so we can have parts ready for you.
Will broken hinges damage my laptop screen?
Yes — this is one of the most common causes of secondary laptop damage. A broken or misaligned hinge places uneven stress on the LCD panel, display cable, and Wi-Fi antenna every time you open or close the lid. Over time, this can crack the screen, tear the display ribbon cable, or cause flickering and blackouts. Many customers come to us for screen replacement that could have been avoided with an earlier hinge repair. If your hinge feels stiff, loose, or makes cracking sounds, get it checked immediately.
What causes laptop hinges to break?
The most common causes include: daily wear and tear from frequent opening and closing, opening the lid from one corner instead of the centre, forcing the screen past its maximum angle, accidental drops or impacts, and poor build quality on budget models. To extend hinge life, always open your laptop gently using both hands from the centre of the lid, avoid lifting the laptop by its screen, and never force the display beyond its natural range of motion.
Do you repair hinges for all laptop brands?
Yes — we service all major laptop brands including HP, Dell, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer, Apple MacBook, Samsung, MSI, Razer, Alienware, Microsoft Surface, Fujitsu, Toshiba, and more. Whether it’s a budget Chromebook or a high-end gaming laptop, our technicians have the experience and parts inventory to handle your repair. If your brand isn’t listed, just give us a call — chances are we can still help.
Is it worth repairing the hinge on an older laptop?
In most cases, yes. A hinge repair typically costs a fraction of what a new laptop would, and it can extend the usable life of your machine by several years. If your laptop still performs well for your daily needs, replacing a broken hinge is one of the most cost-effective repairs you can make. Our technicians will give you an honest assessment — if the repair cost doesn’t make sense relative to your laptop’s value, we’ll let you know upfront.
Can I still use my laptop while the hinge is broken?
We strongly advise against it. Using a laptop with a damaged hinge may feel manageable at first, but every time you open or close the lid, you risk cracking the screen, tearing internal cables, or damaging the chassis mounting points. What starts as a simple hinge issue can quickly escalate into a much more expensive repair. If you must use it temporarily, try to keep the lid at a fixed angle and avoid moving it until you can bring it in for service.
