Screen on my Toshiba Satellite A25 falls down and will not stay up

Toshiba Satellite A25-S207 laptop clutch in not holding up the screen. Screen falls down and will not stay up.
What parts do I need? Is it an easy fix?

That is a common problem with Toshiba Satellite A20/A25 laptops. Most likely the screen will not stay up because one or both display hinges are broken. In order to fix the problem, you’ll have to replace display hinges.

Replacing hinges is not an easy fix because you’ll have to disassemble the whole laptop. You’ll have to take apart both, the laptop base and display panel assembly as it shown in this repair guide.

If you have no laptop repair experience, I wouldn’t attempt this repair. It’s not an easy repair even for experienced technicians.

    I recently restored and updated a Toshiba Satellite P85 for my daughter. All went well software wise but the hinge on the display is very loose. Nothing appears to be broken but the display will only stay in two positions. Is there anyway of tightening up the hinges short of replacing them? Thank you for your review and response.

    I took apart a Toshiba Tecra M1 to repair the hinges. Not sure what type of problems othjer models present but this one had the hinge “separated” not really broken. There was a rivet that became loose. I basically drilled a hole through it with a very small drill bit and used a screw and nut to reassemble them. Worked like a charm since the rivet is a soft metal. Another option is to use a plastic weld product (epoxy product to assemble the hinge even if it might be broken.
    This does require an almost complete disassembly of the laptop but if you are very careful and can make notes on where stuff came from then you might be ok to try it.
    Took almost 4 hours for the job though.
