I have a Toshiba 5205 laptop. The folding screen does not have any friction anymore. It either falls down or stays all the way back. Is there anyway to fix it?

It is a rather large disassembly process but here is a guide for a similar model.

It has been referred to the 5205 as well.

Check out the guide for Toshiba Satellite 5105. The guide will show you how to remove the top cover from your laptop and access the hinges. When you remove the top cover you'll see if your hinges are broken or just loose.
