Thank you so much for posting this video! It was very helpful and made my life a lot easier. For anyone wondering the aliexpress hinges are good (at least so far), and it really didn’t take long to get to me (in the US). Thanks again bro!

[@rickstechrepairs]

Glad it helped!

My left hinge also had the same issue, is way too stiff and cracked the mounts after about 1 1/2 years. Glad its easily removed though, I was afraid I would have to tear down the whole thing to get the screen off. Seems messed up that this is a common issue for a 1500 dollar device. Thanks for the video, wish me luck!

[@rickstechrepairs]

that sucks
good luck with your repair

The plastic part that covers the hinge and sits behind where the hinge attaches to the top half of the laptop has snapped on mine. Do u know where I could find a replacement and repair it

[@rickstechrepairs]

not sure what to call the part, but i would be looking on aliexpress

my msi delta 15 has hinge ripped off from the right side and i need help to fix it

[@rickstechrepairs]

you will need to buy replacement hinges + msi delta 15 replacement lcd cover (the back metal behind the display, the hinges attach to it)
