I have a Toshiba 2405-s201 with (I assume) left and right hinges that need to be replaced. Display has no “hold in place” capability. Is there a description for this model of how to replace hinges and I notice there are several different part numbers for compatible hinges. Which would I use? Thanks.

I have an “HP Pavilion” Laptop zv5000. I bought at Best Buy several years ago for my son. He has since moved on to a Mac.

I inherited the HP. The problem is that the screen will no longer stay up. I tried to remove the screws holding the hinges, but I cant get access to the actual hinge. I can see the problem, which is that the “potmetal” sleeve around the splined hinge has fatigued and cracked lenthwise.

How in the heck do I get to these to fix them? I am not a computer expert but I can handle a screwdriver and tools (I’m an ER physician).

Thanks for your help.

I have a toshiba satellite L35 S2194, and need the hinge that holds the whole lcd assembly to the body, the hinge that tilts your screen forward and backward, I have the old one off but trying to find a replacement with no luck, any ideas?

My Toshiba P205_S6287 was knocked off a table. It is working still however the 9″ plastic hinge attaching the top (lid) and bottom (base)broke on the left side. The wires that go through that part are being pinched as small area of solid pixels appear on the display until I move the lid to a different position. I can’t determine which parts I’d need to fix the problem assuming it’s repairable. I’m concerned about further damaging the display wires opening and closing the lid. The lid is, of course, unstable.

Parts suppliers are also unsure as one said I needed a LCD cover assembly but another thought I needed a base assembly.

There’s a good photo (7th one down)of the part that’s broken here:

I have a Toshiba Tecra M2 S630 and was able to fix my left hinge by removing it and drilling out the rivet and replacing it with a 6-32×1/4 inch machine screw and a nut. Total cost was $4 for a package of nuts and screws from Radio Shack.

I completed my hinge repair on Toshiba Satellite M60 ( PSM60U-08J021 ). I used the instructions linked below regarding base assembly, steps 1, 7, 8, 11, and 12. I also used the instructions linked below regarding the top/LCD assembly, steps 1 thru 5 and step 8.

I did the steps for the base first, then the steps for the top to take apart; and the same steps in reverse to put back together.

I did not disconnect any cables or wires.

I had a little difficulty with the wires near the hinges when putting back together. As you disassemble, really look and note the position of the wires in the area of the hinges under the half circle covers that are part of the keyboard securing strip. I also had some trouble with putting that keyboard securing strip back on, partly because of the wires, but also just because it seemed to need exact left-right positioning.

I have a Toshiba Satellite M60 (PSM60U-08J021) with a broken hinge. I found the replacement part at National Parts Depot for $10 plus shipping.

My question: To install the new hinge, do I really have to disassemble as much as the instructions linked below indicate? Those instructions are for an A45, but I haven’t found instructions for any other Satellite model.

Thanks for your great info.

My daughter’s Sony VGN-CR120 right hinge broke. I got the part and got the screen out. From what I found on the internet, it looks like I have to pry up the top plastic around the keyboard. Thats where I’m hesitating. I found a service manual for a VGN-C but the top plastic is a little different than this one.

Do you know if I really just pry the plastic top off carefully so I can get to the hinge screws?

Thanks in advance.
