If you’re experiencing issues with the hinge of your Acer laptop, addressing the problem promptly is crucial to prevent further damage and ensure the proper functionality of your device.

How to fix Acer laptop hinge

  1. Gather the necessary tools: You may need a small screwdriver (usually Phillips or Torx), tweezers, and a soft cloth.

  2. Power down and disconnect: Turn off your laptop and unplug it from the power source. Additionally, remove any external devices or cables connected to the laptop.

  3. Prepare a clean workspace: Find a clean and well-lit area to work on your laptop. It’s recommended to place a soft cloth or a non-scratch surface underneath the laptop to protect it from scratches or damage.

  4. Open the laptop carefully: Gently open your Acer laptop and observe the hinge for any signs of misalignment, resistance, or damage.

  5. Tighten loose screws: Similar to Dell laptops, a common cause of hinge issues in Acer laptops is loose screws. Locate the screws on the back of the laptop near the hinge and use the appropriate screwdriver to tighten them. Be cautious not to overtighten, as it can strip the screws or cause damage.

  6. Inspect for broken parts: If tightening the screws doesn’t resolve the issue, carefully examine the hinge mechanism and surrounding components for any signs of damage or breakage. Look for cracks, fractures, or worn-out parts.

  7. Repair or replace broken parts: If you identify any broken parts, there are a few options available. If you’re comfortable with DIY repairs, you can search for replacement parts online and follow tutorials or guides specific to your Acer laptop model. Alternatively, you can take your laptop to Esmond Service Centre or contact Acer customer support for assistance.

  8. Clean and lubricate: Similar to other laptops, dust and debris can accumulate in the hinge over time, causing stiffness or difficulty in movement. Use compressed air or a soft brush to clean the hinge area thoroughly. After cleaning, apply a small amount of silicone or graphite-based lubricant to the hinge to facilitate smooth movement.

  9. Test the hinge: Once you’ve completed the necessary repairs or maintenance, carefully close and open the laptop several times to test the hinge’s functionality. Ensure that it opens and closes smoothly without any resistance or wobbling.
