hi,

i hope that you’ll help me to resolve my problem.

I am owner of sony vaio srx77 model, and i have a problem with the tilts.
They are weaks and when i put the monitor too behind, it slowly slips and stops only when it touches on the writing desk.
do you understand the problem? (sorry for my not so good english…)

is there an howto that explains how to take apart or fix the tilts?
if not, how can i fix anyway the problem?

thanks a lot to all!

You need to replace one or both of the hinges.  I think the best thing to do would be to replace just the right hinge.  All the LCD wiring runs through the left one and it might be quite difficult.  I’ve done this myself with my SRX77 and the tension is fine.

The part you need can be purchased at http://www.impactcomputers.com/4-657-931-02.html.

If you’re feeling adventurous, here’s the left one - http://www.impactcomputers.com/4-657-930-02.html

I bought the right hinge from this website without any problems.

thanks for your answer! :wink:

have you got a guide to do this?also images…

i detach the keyboard, the hd, the upper case…and then?

My situation is similar to this photo… (thanks for link! :wink: )

and now?how i proceed?
thanks for the attendance!

It looks like you still have to remove the front LCD cover.  four screws are covered by rubber feet.

Next you have to remove the two large rubber feet adjacent to the battery on the right side (or both).  With this done you now have access to all the screws holding the hinge on.  Remove.  Replace.  Reassemble.

thanks for tips! :wink:

i’ll buy the right hinge and i’ll replace it.
