Default Laptop hinge repair

I'm a firm believer in "if it ain't broke , don't poke".

there is a silly powered gizmo on the display casing that you'd have to pay
for also . Even then I'm assuming its phenolic ribbon supply has a socket

probably fixed in place. If so then replacement full LCD + inverter, many
way, replacement ribbon as well.
