Hi there! Your Lenovo X1 Yoga Gen 6 20XY is having some display issues lately. The right-side hinge is making strange sounds, and the screen alignment is off when you shut it down. There seems to be no visible damage, but everything still functions. You’re considering getting it fixed at a local shop, which they estimate around 1,000€, since Lenovo only sells the whole display unit, not individual parts. I found replacement hinges on third-party sites, but there’s no clear guide or instructions online. Since you have some repair experience, you might be able to handle this yourself—just make sure to follow the right steps carefully. Let me know if you need more tips!

You can take off the hinges on one side, though there’s no clear guidance on removing them from the screen.

It seems the hinges are part of the screen build. The repair shops likely want a full replacement of the top.

Essentially, you’d need to follow the steps for removing the display assembly first, then take that assembly apart. You’d unscrew the hinges on the display to swap them out. It might seem tricky, but it’s manageable if you can get the display off initially. I wasn’t able to locate a teardown guide for a Gen 6 display, though I found a video that gives a general sense of what you’re working with. The creator might be using a different model or language in the footage.
