My Acer Laptop Hinge has broken, Third Party Company (LappyCare) is asking Rs 2500, is this price fair? If not can anyone share any good service provider at doorstep in Delhi NCR?

Which model? Doesn’t seem too high if labour charges are included. Depending on the model it can require complete disassembly of the laptop to get to the display. Are they gonna use new, first-party hinges? I hope it’s not something salvaged from old laptops. Might not last long in that case. If third-party ones a bit on the higher side.
I have read that it’s a common issue with some Acer laptops. Compromising on build quality to meet lower price points. Hence I just keep the lid open most of the time. Better a (slightly) dusty display that a broken one!

2500 seems on the higher side for a broken hinge.

Nehru Place would have been the ideal choice, for cheap repair. Depending on the lappy model and bargaining, could cost between 600-1000 I guess.

May be, try calling some repair guys from nehru place and ask if they could come and replace the hinge at home. I am not sure but I heard the market is closed these days?

Edit – check if hinges are available online for the particular model, then u can order and get it replaced by some repair guy nearby.

If out of warranty first-party repair will be expensive. I mean just for adding an SSD, which only involves taking off the back cover, service charge is Rs 885 for Acer Nitro 5 which is pretty similar to its Aspire counterpart.
You can call Acer CC over phone. Damn easy to get hold off. I need to get some stuff
(battery, int. HDD) checked after lockdown as well. Extended warranty ending in mid-July.

If out of warranty OEMs like HP, Acer also provide only 90 day warranty on hinges IIRC. And if the model is long out of production they can even source the hinges from non-functional laptops.

aftermarket hinges (like keyboards) almost never last more than a few months unless they are original parts salvaged from a scrap unit so decide accordingly wink
