[Memo935]

Hello everyone. I'm new here and I hace been looking around the internet for some assistance and hopefully someone here can help me out. This is a Lenovo Ideapad U530 touch and the part on the picture is broken, I'm looking for a name of that part for replacement or any advise on this matter as I'm not too good with tech. Any help is appreciated!

Hinge cover?

I saw that this was a general problem in the design of that laptop. I can see that you are an experienced member here, would you recommend that I try and replace the whole screen/hinge cover on this or is ir not worth it due to the cost?
I am also considering buying a PC instead si there's that.

Thanks for the response btw!

Sorry, I hardly handle laotops. I usually work on networks.

Wait for other member's recommendations.

In the meantime, go to eBay to find parts, no idea how bad your screen is ,
only you can determine if it's worth the time and money.

There should be fixing tutorials on youtube.

Dell call this as Hinges which used a gear to close and open the display. It can be replaced.

So the screw catches are broken from the plastic and the digitizer is cracked. That's a big job and won't be cheap. Typically the entire top assembly has to be replaced. I personally wouldn't invest that money into it.
