- Contact the computer’s manufacturer directly and inquire whether they offer free or discounted repair for damaged hinges.
- Research third-party repair options in your area. There may be independent, certified repair technicians in your area that specialize in fixing hardware problems.
- Attempt to repair the laptop hinge yourself. First, be sure to unplug the laptop from any electrical outlets and make sure it is completely powered off.

Check for obstructions, loose or damaged hinge components, or other minor issues, and take corrective action if possible.
- Replace the laptop hinge. Depending on the type, model, and age of the laptop, a replacement hinge may be available. Part numbers and purchase information can be found online, usually from the laptop manufacturer.
