LG Gram 17 Repair — All Generations
Last Updated:
LG Gram 17 is the headline product — a 17-inch laptop weighing just 1.35kg (lighter than most 13-inch laptops). Achieved through magnesium-aluminium chassis + carbon fibre reinforcement + minimalist internal design. We service every generation 2019 onwards.
Gram 17 specific patterns: hinge wear on the long lid (lever-arm physics — the bigger the lid, the more stress on the hinge mount), battery service at year 3-4 (the 80Wh pack supports the 24-hour battery claim but cycles aggressively), screen replacement after travel drops, USB-C port wear.

LG Gram 17 Repair — your questions answered
How much does hinge replacement cost on an LG Gram 17?
Hinge replacement on the LG Gram 17 costs $380-$580 fitted. The longer lid creates extra lever-arm stress on the magnesium mounts, so we install threaded inserts and new hinges with thread-locker for a durable repair.
Is it worth replacing the battery in a five-year-old LG Gram 17?
Yes for most owners. A new 80Wh pack restores the original 18-24 hour runtime claim. At $480-$580 fitted the cost is far lower than purchasing a current-generation replacement machine of similar weight.
Can you repair the USB-C charging port on my LG Gram 17?
We repair the USB-C port by replacing the receptacle on the mainboard. The job costs $220-$320 and takes two days. We reinforce the new joint with epoxy so it withstands daily lid movement.
How long does screen replacement take on the LG Gram 17?
A 17-inch 2560×1600 IPS panel replacement takes five to seven days because the specific panel is ordered to match the original colour gamut and brightness. The fitted price ranges from $880-$1,200.
Do you offer onsite service for LG Gram 17 hinge or battery work?
Onsite service is available for software-related diagnostics and battery swaps. Hinge or board-level repairs are completed in our workshop with the correct torque tools and hot-air stations for the thin magnesium chassis.
