Functional Purpose
-
Provides a mechanical pivot allowing the screen to open and close (typically up to ~135-150° angle).
-
Maintains frictional resistance to hold the screen at desired viewing angles.
-
Anchors the screen to the main chassis securely.
-
Routes internal cables (e.g. LCD, webcam) safely through hinge area without pinching or bending excessively.
Common Problems
-
Stiff or seized hinges: Can cause the screen bezel to crack or put pressure on internal cables.
-
Worn-out hinges: Lose tension, leading to a wobbly or floppy screen.
-
Broken mounts: Sometimes the hinge itself is fine, but the plastic mounts inside the screen lid or palm rest break off, especially from repeated pressure.
