recently one of the hinges on my laptop has come out of the socket and wont close properly. can computer shops fix this and any idea what theyd charge? really could do without forkin out for a new one. cheers

can a computer shop fix it.... Possibly

How much will it cost.... How long is a piece of string?

It depends how it has broken, it may just be that the screw(s) that hold the hinge in has come out meaning a cheap and easy repair, or it might be something has snapped, meaning a possible tricky and expensive repair

DEpending on if you have a popular model, if the hinge has snapped off the casing it could be very expensive. Have a look around first and see if you can find a cheap identical one to yours with a cooked motherboard or other expensive malfunction, you can then change your inerts to the good casing.
