必要な工具と部品

    • First, you will need to remove the broken hinge from the computer. This was easy for me as it came out with a little wiggling.

    • Gather the supplies. You will need to get a replacement hinge. I bought mine as a pair on Amazon. All you will need are tin shears and a file or rasp.

    • Use the tin shears to remove the frame of the hinge. The remaining section should have the pin, the turning mechanism, and the screw face.

    • Next, you will need to use the file/rasp to wear down the bit in the edges. This part will keep the arc on the side from moving into the tracks in the frame already installed in the computer.

    • Next, you will insert the new hinge pin-first into the hole and twist so that the pin is in the track (you will be able to feel this) and that the arc can be lined up with the round track.

    • It may take some time to make sure the side bit is filed down enough to get the track all the way in.

    • You will then want to line both hinges up so that the kickstand stands evenly and screw the new hinge into place.

Great John, it worked for me, this broken hinge had been annoying me for months and I am not super handy, thanks!

These instructions also helped me replace the left hinge on my Surface Pro (2017). Like some users, I utilize the kickstand to grip my Surface in tablet mode which may have contributed to the stress on these hinges. However, it was me 'forcing' the kickstand to nearly 180 degrees that 'broke the camels back'. After a few months of 'dealing with it', I got on-line to see if there's some solution to replace / repair this issue. I did locate quite a number of videos / threads utilizing some type of heat gun / pry tool to remove the screen before locating others showing this alternate method. The one item I did have to purchase was a T3 torx head to remove the kickstand. Leveraged a multi-tool i.e. leatherman, to snip the frame and then file down the 'side bits' of the hinge so it would 'fit/slide' into the track of the original frame installed on the device. Appreciate your time to share, save me some $'s and continue enjoying my Surface Pro (2017) w/ solid kickstand. :)

Literally perfect! Easy and quick, took like 10 minutes total. There's a great YouTube video that does something similar (youtu.be/HA2LtIwa9pU) but removes the new semi-circle bushing to use in the old hinge -- I prefer John's method of cutting the frame and replacing the whole hinge mechanism as it seems less fiddly, but the method of repair is the same, and the video has a bunch of great angles if you need some more clarification (the tab bit had me confused on first reading, but the video helped to clarify).

Also, the left/right hinge mechanism itself is seemingly generic (the frame is different but we're cutting it!), so don't worry about buying a left/right one -- just buy whichever is cheapest (on eBay they're different prices) and cut! The videos method could be good if you, let's say, have a black Surface but only can find silver hinges, as you'd only replace the bushing and NOT the whole hinge, if the colour mismatch would bother you.

All in all, great! Glad I can use it normally again. Cheers!

Thanks. A very simple repair. Took 20 minutes. Some points of clarification from me

1) The hinge simply twists into the slotted track to remove or insert

2) Shave down the prominent bits on both sides of the circular bushing which guides the hinge assembly as it moves

3) Take a little off and test, repeat until it slides into the grooves. I used a glass nail file.

4) Compare with your good hinge to see how the assembly works.

5) Overall 10/10
