    yeah, fr. don't buy msi, use the money for asus or sumn. Mine's completely shattered on the left one bcs of the built up tension for whatever reason it is. Had to buy the cover and it's quite pricey for a flappy alumunium cover smh. I'll give up if the tight hinges problem happen again

So the toughest thing for me was getting the screen bezel off I used two medium guitar picks one screen the other on the opposite side and worked it around. Next hard part is loosening the nuts without a small box wrench. good luck. Thanks for this video!

    MSI Laptops are absolute garbage. The software is phenomenal but the hardware is laughable. The fans in my laptop are always breaking and the hinge issue seems to be a common occurrence. Also, one of my audio ports are completely broken. I never had issues like this with other products, I've only seen this happen with MSI. Never buying from MSI ever again.. Unbelievable.

    Ugh, adding my hinge complaint to the pile. I bought a GE75 raider at the very end of 2020 and within about 12 months of use, the plastic hinge cover completely shattered, both the front and the back. It was completely busted, and while the main metal part of the hinge remains connected to the bottom of the laptop, the connecting screw must have flown out when the plastic shattered, because that part is completely gone. Because of this, the screen is no longer stable on the right side as there's no structure to connect it to the base of the laptop, so it's wobbly and droops down to the right slightly. The exposed metal hinge now sits behind the screen, completely useless. Since warranty had expired by then and I absolutely did not want to deal with MSI's customer support and fees required for repair, my broke ass taped the bottom of the screen so that it's connected to the base of the laptop enough so that it stays upright. It's jank and a poor solution, but as the left hinge is-surprisingly-still properly in place and functional, this provides enough stability for the screen to remain upright. That being said, I refuse to close the damn screen at this point out of fear of causing the left hinge to shatter, so it's never leaving my apartment now and remains just a glorified and horribly shitty desktop! Just trying to hold out until I can get myself a desktop to replace it. These "gaming" type laptops aren't worth the headache. Although the MSI GS70 Stealth I used to have did not have any hinge issues, it did eventually start to fail with excessive overheating, keys breaking/falling off, slow booting/loading, etc. Hell, the Lenovo G series laptop-that I had over a decade ago-also had a hinge cover shatter, so it's not even just an MSI issue. Such a rip off paying for gaming capable internals when the externals aren't of the same quality.
