Dell is clearly the only contact that would carry a replacement for the hinge. I have checked all over and can only find the Center Console Cover

Loose hinges on dell insperon 1318

Hi There,
Loose hinges ultimately need replacing, as tightening them is impossible. To get to the hinges in order to replace them, You'll need to remove the screen. This is a fairly daunting task for anyone without previous laptop repair experience, and can get frustrating pretty quickly. Your local repair shop should be able to do this for under $50.
Here is a link to a repair guide if you do decide to take it on yourself -

We have a disk stuch in a dell inspiron 1318, there is no OS on it right now. how can we get disk out? there is no place to stick the paper clip

Remove the optical drive, and then open the drive. Remove the disk.

With most laptops this is a simple job.
Turn the laptop over on it's top, remove one Philips head screw, pull the optical drive out.
Remove 2 to 4 screws from a cover on the optical drive, and ease the tray open.

With the Inspiron 1318 Notebook PC it is more difficult.

A) Remove the Display Assembly.
(Removal covers removing the Display Assembly as a whole unit, off of the laptop)

B) Remove the Keyboard.

C) Remove the Palm Rest. (Top cover under the Keyboard. Your palms rest on it when you use the touchpad)

D) Remove the Optical Drive


Dell Support > Dell Inspiron 1318 Service Manual,

http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/ins1318/en/sm/index.htm

In the list click on Optical Drive.

Right hand hinge is broke dell inspiron 1318

The only people who have the hinge is Dell themselves. I've checked all over. The only parts available are the Center Console Cover & The Back Cover. If the hinge itself is broken, then you will have to send it to DELL. They'll tell you that the whole screen needs to be fixed- just to hike up the price of repair. If you want, you can buy the back cover, which for the most part, will cover the exposed wires on the hinge, but the front of the hinge will still be exposed. What I would love to find is a metal hinge for the DELL Inspiron 1318, like that found in the Dell Studio XPS version. The plastic hinges only guarantee that we will remain loyal customers. Sorry if this didn't help much.

Right, plastic hinge cover is cracked on my Inspiron 1318. Any thoughts on quick painless way to replace this cheap, brittle piece?

Call Technical support of dell and inform them its broken, if you have the complete care warranty part will be replaced without charge

Dell won't help the little people!

Give us a call at 800-595-3564 and we will help you get the part. Dell is a horrible company as we've had bad experiences with them.

Dell inspiron 1318 lcd screen completely dim

The backlight in your LCD has gone out. You will need to replace the entire LCD. You can look on ebay or here, you will be paying around $300 for it.


Good Luck!
