Still Another LCD Hinge Hack!

To say the least, the cost of replacing LCD hinges on laptops has become obscene, and unfortunately the problem is quite common. Currently the price of two poorly designed hinges can run as high as $90.00 and finding new ones is rare or impossible in many cases. The computer manufacturers do not admit their shoddy design and any worthwhile support is practically unheard of. With this in mind, I have set out to design a quick, simple, cheap, but still functional hinge as either a temporary, or a long term solution. By using simple, easy to find materials, as shown in Step 1, here is a laptop hinge that is adjustable in angle, sturdy, inexpensive and simple to install. It will not cause damage to the laptop case.

Step 1 Step 1

Gather up all the materials and find a soft surface
for the laptop to avoid scratching the case.

Ah I totally did that with packing tape years ago. I don't even notice it's there any more.
