      But superglue is very brittle, and will probably break on a flexing screen. But mixing other ingredients with the superglue as you do, does help.

    To fix a hinge I personally just use super glue to hold the entire hinge. I prepare the area grinding a bit, dispose the screws and brass and hold everything together with a clamp and move the lid to a certain angle. I never had a model which I cannot service the display if I glue the hinge. I had to do it that way because the bond is way stronger and humidity here can make a hinge not be able to loosen like the other. Now, the big disadvantage is that it leaves a big white trace that can stick to the front surface, not being able to be cleaned. So I have to tape the surrounding surfaces for at least a day to prevent staining the plastic, specially when we have to close the laptop and store it somewhere.
    To adjust the hinge I use a hex driver with an adapter. Most common size is 5.5mm, then 5mm, 6mm and rarely 7mm. That way I can safely tune the hinges with minimal force, movement, can deal with extremely hardened hinges with ease and almost always I just have to remove the back cover and the hinge screws.
    To finish, if the display frame got deformed or if the hinge now takes more space I grind some plastic from the inside part of the frame to recover space. All the customers I had care about aesthetics.

    • @Naz_gul5
      @Naz_gul5 13 днів тому +1

      great but super glue isnt that reliable like in some hinges where the screen flex has to pass under the broken hinge,if you glue it there and at a certain point the flex fails and you have to change it super glue is irreversible yet hot glue you just warm it and do what you want then bond it again,lastly thanks for those driver gauges.

    • @SmarkDepper
      @SmarkDepper 13 днів тому

      @Naz_gul5 For me it has been the strongest (for small spaces) until now. But in the beginning it wasnt that reliable. What I do is paste, hold, and then reinforce the hinge sides with more glue two times more. I use the 30ml superglue version to steadily put more. The main reason I stick with it is because one day someone brought a FAT and WIDE Intel Dual Core. That was the hardest to open lid I have ever seen. I had to use the same amount of force to open a heavy sliding door to open the lid. I was completely out of options, I couldnt loose the hinges and I couldnt mod the lid with screws (at least not wirh reasonable time). So I just tried anything. I put a lot of superglue on the hinges to bond with all the base and sides. There was a huge amount of height on the sides so the relief was extremely good. It is still fine.
      Still, I think it is still good to use hot glue. But I think its more effective when there is more space available, if the entire hinges can be covered and if the hinge is loose enough. One day accidentally drop lots of hot glue over a switch and it took me 1 hour to pry it out, so yeah. I bent so many metal spudgers tried to save it lol

    Laptop hinge has spring loaded friction joint, which becomes harder with passage of time and ultimately hinge uproots from plastic anchoring points. If ignored, other hinge also breaks. During repair, friction must br reduced, by oiling and reducing spring tension. I've repaired few of my laptop hinges and they never break again. Thanks.

      There is a video where Sorin is answering this.
      He wants a glue that's capable of flexing.
      I guess, epoxy and superglue are too brittle.
      And I personally think that the issue is that you are usually trying to bond a stiff element made of metal to a flexible element made of plastic. And often, you can flex the plastic from underneath the stiff epoxy. However, a flexible glue will just flex with the plastic, while stretching enough to stay glued to the stiff metal (if the bond is done right: clean surfaces + very hot glue).

      After trying lots of different glues to fix hinges I now use Fibreglass car filler. It sticks like nothing else. With a bit of practice you can repair the broken plastic parts e.g. the bits where the brass screw lugs have broken off. I find that a stronger and better fix than glueing everything together. I use hot glue for other repairs but not hinges, it just doesn't stick as well to plastic.

    Heyo. I recently had an HP Omen from 2020 short while running Nvidea's own GPU voltage testing drivers (gaming laptop). I've used the driver on the laptop before without issue, but it occurred after a fresh windows install so I guess whatever feng-shui keeping it alive wasn't there anymore. From watching your videos I think I could fix it easily, or it could be an easy repair. I checked the motherboard over and it looks like a small capacitor near the VRM and GPU chip fried itself. Everything else on the board looks new still, can't see any other damage visually on either side. Haven't tested with a voltmeter yet though. Have any examples like this?

    Hello master, I've actually tried your hot glue technique 2 times now, i will test it for a third row, at my last testings, I've never succeded to make it stick to the plastic of the screen case, I did every step of the way correctly, I've loosened a little bit the hinge so it causes less stress, then heated up the hot glue to his melting point then applied it on the case then the hinge in a sandwich style exactly the same as you did. Until now my main tool for this kind of repair were epoxy glue but it is true that it is nearly impossible to remove it afterwards so i'm looking to change my way of doing. Does anyone experienced the same issue? Please it would help me a lot to have some feedbacks on everyone who tried this.

    I wouldn't do this, there's a reason hot glue isn't used where there is high stress. Hot glue could be for holding a bezel in place for example. Any kind of epoxy would be miles better than hot glue. Less serviceable? Yes but at least it will hold until the laptop is finally e-wasted.
    You do have a point about proper repair being outside of what people want to pay. The back lid would easily surpass £30 and computer manufacturers do their damned best to make parts stupidly expensive and hard to find.

      @@omarhamani2126 epoxy bonds so well especially plastic to plastic it's almost impossible to break it, I fixed 2 Thinkpads with it, same problem, hinge too tight it broke plastic anchors behind. That was 2 years ago, both are still in use and can withstand hot weather. I agree with Sorin it's a cheap repair but customer paid 60 pounds not 30 so I'm on border with this

    If that is not a type of miracle glue, that will not last! Talking from a huge amount of experience.😩

    Thats a terrible repair. None of these glue things work. Im doing these repairs already 3 years. The ones i have done with epoxy also came back after some months. Only way is drill holes in the frame and to use micro screws and nuts. That cant break unless the whole case cracks.
