Laptop screen hinges broken

My Acer Extensa laptop screen both hinges are broken so it cannnot 'stand up". Does anyone know any shops that can repair or replace it and the approx. cost?

Is it broken on the top or the bottom half of the laptop? If it's broken at the bottom might be the base needs replacing, can be quite expensive.

Broken at the base of the laptop. All else working well. If too expensive might buy new laptop and 'transplant' existing hard disk to it but wonder if it will work as it will be different hardware.

Which model number? Take a look at aliexpress for parts, might be easily done by ownself.

You can remove the old hdd and get an external hdd dock (2.5 inch) to let it serve as an external hdd for data xfer.

To get it working on a new laptop would be inconvenient on your end - ranging from OS licensing, Drivers, etc.

Granted most laptops now do come with some form of ssd (sata, m.2) , therefore there’s no benefit to transplanting a old hdd at all.
