Laptop hinges that are in good condition will allow you to open the laptop lid with ease. The laptop hinges may be malfunctioning if you experience extreme stiffness or looseness when opening and closing the laptop lid. Other symptoms include the lid not shutting completely, the lid not staying open, dislocated hinges, or cracks around the hinges or in the hinges themselves.
Make sure to disable the internal battery, power down your device, and disconnect from any external power sources before you begin.
