Samsung monitor 970p triple hinge.. hinge collapsed how to restore

I'm afraid that in order for us to help you any...you're going to have to be more specific on what's going on here.

From doing a good amount of internet research I have found that this problem is "fixable". Inside the top portion of the arm there is a spring. That spring was made to support the weight of the screen, but after readjusting the screen so many times, the spring loses its ability to hold the weight. If you take apart the top part of the arm (the top part, not the sides, pop it off with a flathead, be careful) you can fix it a number of ways. I used a zip tie. Go right through the middle. and tighten it until you get the screen where you like it (forever). thats just want i did. Do some googleing people!

The following is my support chat with Matt from Samsung support. You may glean some information from this that will answer your questions - replacement seems to be the option.

Please wait for a Samsung Agent to respond.
