Huge warning, don't put as much epoxy as this guy did. Just put it on the bottom, then press the metal part down into the epoxy (not slather the whole top part with it), let it harden, then apply more into the 3 holes, you can even do the sides slightly connecting the metal to the plastic. But if you put as much as MrContrive did, then your laptop WILL NOT CLOSE. You will fix one problem (broken hinge) but create a new one (can't close laptop or you'll break your screen). I had to sandpaper the heck out of mine with a nail filer, and it still won't close but is much better then before. Good luck everyone and how I wish this comment was here when I did my laptop. :(
I went a step further today and placed epoxy then the screen, then the hinge, then a little more epoxy. Held pressure and then filled in with epoxy where needed and smoothed out the top. If the hinge breaks again, I will just buy the whole assembly and replace it.
Thank you MrContrive for this tutorial. So far so good on my hinge repair. A note to others. My hinge was extremely stiff. Probably why it broke under pressure. I loosened it with a mini socket attachment that I had in my repair kit. Then I used epoxy like MrContrive showed in his video. Epoxy sure holds the hinge down better than the flimsy plastic that these manufacturers use.
yuore the best advice so cause majority of the times its the stiffness that causes it to break i have the same issue i just cant loosen mines gotta buy a tool for that
Thank you so much for posting this. I wouldn't have had the confidence to have a go without your video. I would never thought of Aralditing it. (Araldite is amazing stuff. Years ago I used it to fix a hole caused by a stone in my car's aluminium radiator. I did it as a temporary fix when we were away but it lasted until I got rid of the car a couple of years later!) Such a shame this happened. The laptop hasn't been miss used. It happened on my son's one too. It would stop me buying another.
Same. Bought a Samsung Chromebook because my daughter needed one for zoom classes. Nice metal chassis. Then a year later. Crack! Hinge broke. Opened it up and was greeted to the most flimsiest plastic that was holding down the metal hinge. I bought another Chromebook for my daughter. Luckily, it hasn’t had a hinge problem yet. Knock on wood. But I would never had thought I would use epoxy to hold down the hinge. Now I have two Chromebooks. I used the epoxy from JB Weld.
Thanks for sharing this video lost month this same method my laptop was brobroken acer aspire 3 i5 process so this video useful but i how to protect the laptop please share another video
I just leave the laptop open so the broken hinges are not used. Thanks MrContrive for sharing this. I also put a bulldog clip on the detached part, no need now even for epoxy, no problem any more.
I have never in my life have opened my laptop from the side, i have only opened from the top. It is still a 2 year old laptop. But facing the same issue in DELL Inspiron 3511
On the side where the hinge is broken, the display bracket is not connected with the hinge. When you open the lid, the display is not balanced, so one side is not connected, so the possibility of damage to the display is increased... the other thing is that you need to loosen the hinge. If it is done, it will break again
Hej, I´m planning to repair my laptop hinge with the procedure showed in the video...What do you mean by "loosen the hinge. If it is done, it will break again" ? Thanks
@@MsKingchrist I think he means you need to put some oil on the hinge to loosen it up. If you dont do it, the epoxy glue cannot hold the laptop for long because of the stiff hinge. Now Im trying to find wtf kinda oil I have to use. I saw some use fastrax but thats not available around me.... Maybe wd40 works
Ok thanxs for ur reply, now I get it, it makes sense, I’ll try to oil the hinge…by the way…in the meantime I did the repair like on the video and its worked! The glue is holding now since couple of weeks. So I’m happy it worked
Im going through this with my aspire 5 and i was rough with my laptop or anything they really need to fix this problem. The people that can do the repair want so much i had a guy quote me $200 i said well thats how much i paid for it
@@johnraja9536 Sir,my Dell laptop hinge got damaged,when I went to dell service centre they says it will cost around 5000rs.Will there be a chance of again getting damaged ,if I repair in other shops for less money?? Please do reply...
i almost tought my laptop is having the same thing but i notice in the crevice at my monitor was a part inside my monitor got chipped and i found the chip and removed it and my laptop works perfectly fine Edit: the chipped part wasnt important
IMO the epoxy repair will not last because the stress of the stiff hinge is simply to great. But there is a very simple fix. If you address the problem as soon as it happens so the damage is minimized you will have a very good chance this works. The actual problem shows itself by the plastic frame that holds the screen separates at the bottom corner exposing the hinge mechanism. Carefully move the screen so the screen will now be around a 90 degree angle to the laptop body. Carefully but firmly push the frame back together so it looks exactly like it was never broken ( in my case a couple of plastic pieces with metal inserts fell out - now not needed ). Now using 3/4" wide spring clips ( used to hold papers in a folder ) you clip the frame "together" with one clip running vertical along the screen frame on the left side of the hinge and another horizontal along the bottom of the screen frame just to the right of the hinge. You can remove the chromed spring wires of the spring clip on the side facing you as you look at the screen. The hinge will now work perfectly and the frame is held together by the 2 clips. These clips are made of spring metal and are quite strong. Now for more good news - the spring clips are available at the Dollar store or Staples and are very inexpensive. It is possible that you might have to use larger spring clips depending on the thickness of the screen frame holding your screen. I was lucky the 3/4" wide one fit perfectly. I hope my instructions are clear enough. The DIY Master Tech ...
Laptops really should have what is known as a "Piano Hinge" which is 14"-17" wide just the same as the laptop itself rather than just two piddly little One Inch hinges....Just the same as the Piano Hinge on a piano keyboard lid.
80euro to 150e on HP official site, depend what's broken guess acer and other company should be about the same price, if you can do it yourself maybe less than 50e.
Hey guys. I don't have such a severe problem but I think it's going to evolve to become the same so should I wait until it's no longer closable or should I fix now. Another question, the only requirement for this repair is the glue right? Or should I buy another part as well?
I did mine like he is showing--careful not to over epoxy, otherwise it will bulge. Anyway some of the screws are stripped from the cover. I could buy a new cover; but it also may be now that it is epoxied down I must buy new hinges. If there are problems in the hinge bezel, then that will have to be replaced. For now, I'm just going to leave it open on my desk. I may just buy a monitor, and make it 1, and leave it open. I don't need to carry this everywhere. Nitro 5 you did a crappy job on the cover!
I have 2 acer laptop and its hinges always breaks in just months. Fvcking laptops this days ewaste of money. I solve this problem by just building a pc.

Yes its working fine when fix you will fix it you lose the hinge screw that can be play easily .
do you also need to buy a replacement hinge as well as the epoxy or did you use the old hinge and just epoxy?
...use the old one, if there is nothing wrong with it. Just be aware of it's position, when you epoxy it to the plastic

@@MsKingchrist the hinge has a nut the preloads the spring in the hinge. If you loosen the nut, the hinge gets easier to move.

If you have a good laptop/phone repair kit, it should have a socket attachment that will loosen the nut on the side of the hinge.
