Laptop screen wont stay up

[miriamnakamoto]

Hello,
my Lenovo Ideapad Y550P screen is loose. And it now won't stay completely open by itself. Everything else is fine. It must be the hinges. What can I do?

Most likely it has something to do with the hinges. If you use it a lot, i.e. flip the screen up and down, the hinges will eventually wear out. They can be replaced though:

if you take the case off around the screen the hinges have screw that can come loose over time. sometimes just simply tightening it will help.
