Need advice on P2410-G2-M laptop lid repair and replacement options

stewart33

I have a broken laptop lid needing repair and Acer tell me that the Travelmate lid is discontinued; can this be? Sounds like they are trying to force me to buy a new laptop!

Also, is it an easy task to replace the LCD bezel myself?

Thank you. Model Travelmate P2410-G2-M. Can you say what the broken white thin cable is? Stewart

Your Travelmate P2410-G2-M LCD top cover assembly (see caption below) where the hinge secures into is broken and you need to change that top panel for a new one so that you can secure the top part of the hinge properly and securely so that the top LCD panel can be opened and closed properly. Also and after you have replaced that panel, make sure that you loosen the hinge so that its not too tight as after a while certain laptops hinges tighten up from closing and opening action and that is why the base plastic securing points brake like on your laptop.

The below caption and Acer part number is for the Travelmate P2410-G2-M LCD cover assembly, buy this part new or get a technician to buy and do this for you, as the LCD screen and all the antenna and camera wires need to be rerouted into this cover.

The white wire is the #1 AUX antenna wire for the WLAN card of the laptop, which looks like its broken and needs to be resoldered and joined properly together and/or you can buy a new wires replace that one and reroute this antenna wires #1 again like it was. while the top LCD cover is changed. Good luck and hope this helps you out as this is the best way to fix this problem DO NOT try to glue this with any glue.

Thank you very much for your kind and speedy response. Unfortunately Acer say that the cover is now discontinued so it seems pointless to take it to a local dealer and I worry that if I buy online I will be sold the wrong cover! To make matters more difficult I am in Thailand and local dealers do not seem to want to engage.

Yes, the laptop is from 2018, so it's not a surprise that Acer no longer stocks case parts. There are lots of third party vendors on the secondary market that would be parting these out though, so search on the part number.
