Toshiba Satellite 1410 screen won’t stay upright
My daughter’s Toshiba Satellite 1410 screen won’t stay upright – just happened today – any thoughts on how to tighten?
If the laptop display just suddenly became loose and doesn’t stay upright, them most likely the display hinge or hinges are broken. You cannot really tighten a broken hinge, you have to replace it. To replace the display hinge in this model you have to take apart the display assembly and remove the top cover from the laptop base. Hinges are pretty expensive; you can find them on the internet around $70 a piece plus shipping cost. If you want to replace them yourself, I can help you to find the part number so you can search for it on the net. Leave a comment with the laptop full name and model, something like Toshiba Satellite 1410-S173, PS141U-01F3WV

Hi , Ive got a Toshiba Satellite L35 and i’ve got the same problem, the laptop screen just won’t stay upright, it’s completely loose. However, this is a new problem, i’ve been almost a year using it with the right hinge broken, but now both of them have got loosen. I’m from South America and I all I need is the parts that I know will be very hard to get here.
Thanks.
