Awesome Video , another tip, loosen the the hinges slightly . In my experience hinges are often too tight, which could be part of the issue in the first instance . About half a turn with a nut spinner ( M5/M5.5/M6 too hard with plyers ) each end of the hinges . Also Silicone grease or 3 in 1 oil helps

Indeed too tight! I'm fixing a laptop I had when I was younger and I remember the screw being so tight I couldn't unscrew it to replace the screen so I think I just tore the arm of the hinge off and then tore off the broke screen (god forbid I told my parents either)because I was like "better to be able to use it than close it" like no that's so impractical

@chrisgraham2904

Жыл бұрын

Yes, the hinge tension adjustment nut seems to automatically tighten with use as the screen in lifted and closed. Loosen the adjustment nut until the hinge moves smoothly, but will still support the screen in the open position. A drop of Locktite thread locking solution on the adjusted nut will prevent the nut from automatically tightening in the future. Very careful application of a lubricant will aid the hinge's movement and it can be applied to any areas that you don't want to be adhered by the crazy glue or epoxy that you use for the hinge attachment.

I've never heard of using baking soda with super glue. Very interesting! What I usually do is drill a hole in the bottom case, where each brass nut is broken loose, and run a small long bolt through the bottom. I put the original brass nut on first, tighten it down a bit, then the hinge on top of that, and another nut on top of the hinge.

Great tip!

Another tip is to put the metallic inserts on the tip of a hot soldering iron and drop them slowly on the plastic casing. The hot insert will sink in the casing as your detach the soldering iron with something a screw driver . You can continue to add super glue or form some plastic around the inserts.This is permanent

I have tried cyanoacrylate to re-set hinge anchor points. But actually gorilla weld or jb weld has worked best, if you put the mix in a 20ml oral dispensing syringe after mixing, you can use micro-control to build up your anchor points after you have placed them. I usually use a mobile-fixable desk-mounted lighted magnifying glass and tweezers as well to get the fit and finish right. The one thing I noticed that you didn't do, was remove the circuit board away from the affected area and reinstall them later. I always remove the circuit boards so that in case I make a mistake, they won't be damaged or accidently glued in place in case another tech needs to work on it in the future for some other issue.

I've used this trick for a lot of years, for my own laptop is fine, but for clients computers I just use 2 part epoxy. Harder to affix it in place, because it takes time to cure, but afterwards is near indestructible. One of my heavier media laptops has metal parts broken break apart after years of use, so no epoxy or superglue can help - there I just DRILLED TROUGH the laptop body, and put a steel plate on the other side. Looks ugly but it works. Because design allows for it to work. In newer slimmer laptops the plate and end of screws would cut into screen when fully closed.

That's the best durable method I tried and last so far... I'm yet to try the Hot Glue.. Some say it lasts also if heated properly... Faster to apply than this method so.. Let's see

Great video, sad that hadn't thought about this one myself, but I have fixed some other things with this method and I must say that things that need some elasticity or have high/frequent stress are cracking this composite quite fast, like in a month or two. But overall that is so stupid that those high stress areas are so often made of cheap plastic that lasts just enough to get you through warranty period of the device. Like even my MSI laptop I bought 3 years ago for like 1900 euros started falling apart half a year ago, so I had to buy a new front panel for another 120 euros. Thats considering the fact that I was closing the laptop only once a week and it was mostly stationary device.

Most of the time you can retrieve your own brass inserts. From the broken hinges. Just use a pair of needle nose pliers and a small phillip head screwdriver.

just disassemble your laptop and you will see if it's broken or not

is the baking soda combined with glue dangerous if it sits on top of pcb?? (not in crucial part of course). The standoff is very near in a pcb, so the baking soda has to sit on top of the pcb, otherwise i cant build the "baking soda wall". Also, is epoxy glue a better solution for these kind of plastics?

Epoxy is not gonna work for that particular application. We've fixed hundreds of laptops in our repair shop with this methods and none of those clients returned back with the same defect. Once the compound is hardened you can cut it with a utility knife to remove its excess. Nothing will happened if you apply it to the PCB too.

@@ElectronicsComputers my hinges says m2x3 and the hinge arm is broken off. Do you have any hinges with arm links for a hp pavilion x360 - 14m- cd0001dx Please ? You are really helping me 🙌

Can i use some kind of an oil to the hinge? Before my laptop hinge broke its already heavy to close anf open, so i'm worried that it might just broke again if i fix it using your method

You can add a little WD40 or some oil to slightly lubricate the hinges but only if they are really tight.

I would use WD-40 to clean - it doesn't lubricate. Then I'd apply some lithium grease, or if you want to use oil go with sewing machine oil.

thanks for your help

I have the exact laptop and my problem with the hinge it's not that when I open it doesn't pull the bottom side where the keyboards are, alongside the laptop screen it takes out the plastic thing around it, not sure if my hinge is broken like yours.
