Acer 2003lmi Broken hinge?

Hello everyone, i just noticed this noise when opening my screen and i looked behind and the right hinge is broken or craxked. The screen still opens and closes just fine, i lil rought but i could deal with it. Just wondering if anyone knew where i could get it fixed or if i could order the part and do it myself. Also the cost. If any one has any input on this at all, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
Ryan

 

Are you still under warrenty?
If so sent it back to acer direct.
I had the same problem and got mine back within a week.
If you are out of warrenty, especially if you are only just outside, I would contact acer and see what they can do considering that a hinge is a mechanical failure and under the Sale of goods act (UK) should be fit for its purpose which in my opinion means lasting at least a couple of years.
If you look around the internet, you will find others have had this problem, which to me suggests a design flaw. I wonder if this is a known problem? Something else you might suggest to acer.
Hope this helps,
Good luck

 

i purchased the laptop used so i dont know when it was purchased, i dont have the warranty info, how would i find out if i am in warranty?
