So, does anyone know what I can do to keep it from fully breaking off? Also, if I want to replace the uppercase, what should I look for? My laptop is a Lenovo IdeaPad 3.
I would recommend sending it in for repairs as soon as possible.
I will try, thanks for the suggestion. I also noted that there are four missing screws, one of which is in the area where the damage is.
Get it checked as soon as possible, and avoid using it in the meantime to prevent further harm to the laptop. Consider how much it would cost, especially given the severity of the damage.
P.S. I have been using it for two months, but I never bothered to check on it lol.
Someone who works in laptop repair was asked what the worst aspect about the less expensive laptops was, and the answer surprised me.
He stated that they used plastic to weld the top and bottom. Plastic visibly breaks with continuous heating and cooling, as all laptops do on a regular basis.
No offense, but do you have any suggestions?
There is one way to beat this that I’ve seen on low-cost laptops: check for 180* hinged models that fold into tablet form. It requires them to employ good friction hinges on both sides.
Aside from that, you normally have to pay some money to buy a laptop. “MacBook” and “Spectre” will have tried-and-true chassis that receive all the TLC and wonderful stuff.
HP Envy… Look for Acer Aspires with two hinge barrels.
It is like a car it doesn’t matter how good it is if the tires are bad. Hinges are the same as tires.
I feel horrible stating that since I know it’s not doable or realistic for many people, but it’s an excellent illustration of why I don’t cut corners on certain things, such as laptops. Saving a little dollars usually ends up costing more in the long run.
