Requesting all to log complaint with Dell and share this thread on their twitter handle. If under warranty Dell is replacing the parts without any charges.

My Dell was too stiff also, and it delaminated the top. Sent to Dell, they fixed it, but was just as stiff as before. You'd think they would 'calibrate' the hinges, but NO! Now the top is doing the same thing. Thanks Techstore for this info (that Dell techs need to learn.)

Wow... Can't tell you how grateful I am for this video. Saved me a trip to the computer store. Thank you and very much appreciated! 🙏🏻

My son's laptop broke one of the hinge mounting points on the screen. Took it apart and glued the hinge to the screen using epoxy. Adjusted the hinges according to the video and it now works again with no issues. Thanks for having a clear and concise video on how to address this problem.

Thanks Sir🙏 for this video. Have a Inspiron N5010 and one of the hinges had gotten tight and was not closing down the lid all the way. I was about to order new hinges. Came across your video and adjusted the screw on the hinge and it solved the problem. For the N5010, you need to break the hinge cover tabs to remove the black plastic cover so you can access the hinge adjuster screw. I had tried once to repair the problem thinking it was an alignment issue but could not see the hinge mechanism due to black the hinge cover. You saved me the cost of hinges. Thanks. I was procrastinating this issue for months but as you mentioned in the video, the additional stress can damage the display and also damage the plastic parts due to stress application.

Great vid didn't miss a single beat concise, simple, and precise.

I dont ever comment on videos but I just got a laptop this past cyber monday for my mother and the hinges are STILL extremely tight. Thanks to this video I can open it with one hand and can pass this on to her without worry. Thank you.

This is an EXCELLENT video. Thank you for taking the time to make this and upload it for us!

I JUST DID MINE AND ITS 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000X BETTER!! I saw that one of the hinges was almost gonna pop, my sisters laptop which is a HP 15S have this problem and its hinge is broken. I searched up and ur video came up first, I cant explain how happy I am rn! God Bless U! I hope no problems occur to my notebook because i removed it tho

Hi! I'm having trouble finding the 5.5mm wrench. Can I use 5mm or 6mm? Would you be able to inform me? Thanks!

I’m gratefull I found your video. Thank you for share this video, my 3rd party IT consultant so lazy to fix this hinges matter.

This helped a lot! Thank you Techstore!

hey is this applicable for inspirion 5408? the hinges on it looks pretty stable as its connected to the metal outer lid

Hi Anand, Thank you for a good video on this topic. This weak hinge design and delicate structure of the laptop making it susceptible to damage when children are using it. Is there any gadget available to arrest the angle of lid protecting the laptop when children try to tilt the lid beyond its limit?

Thanks for the video. I've just had a similar issue and after seeing your video I disassembled mine and boy is it hard to adjust. Because my model is a 2-in-1 (Inspiron 17 7706) there's a total of four nuts I must calibrate and the space between them is so tight. I gave up since no spanner/wrench can fit in that gap. Dell clearly doesn't want you to fix their products.

Thank you very much for your video. One hinge on my laptop snapped off the plastic mounting and started to damage the display case. With your video and some JB Weld original cold weld epoxy, I reused the hinge, re-seated, and epoxied it in place. Over time, these hinges tighten, which leads to the damage. It took me a few adjustments to the hinge bolts to get the tension right. I noticed that I could reassemble the case with the hinge covers removed, thus allowing me to adjust the hinge bolts until the tension was right. It seems one of the display bezel's snap clips near the formerly broken hinge broke, so there is a slight gap where the bezel is not flush against the case, but it is barely noticeable and should not cause problems.

I wish I had seen this video before! Unfortunately, the hinges on mine broke out of nowhere and the display frame started to come apart. Luckily it was still under warranty and got it repaired, but I knew this was a design flaw. Many people on the internet reported this same issue with the same model, the Dell technical himself acknowledged it and recommended opting for Latitude model laptops, since those are sturdier. I also had an issue with my touchpad, it went absolutely crazy at times and was completely unresponsive. I solved it by unscrewing and removing it, then gently cleaned it with a cotton swab and reinstalled it. After that, the issue was gone. Maybe the connector was loose or there was some dirt on it, but I’m glad my computer is working correctly now. I like how fast it is, but I wish they used sturdier materials for the body

Thanks so much for this video. I just got a Dell Inspiron 15" 3520 and the hinges were so stiff. I was able to fix it following your video.

This works, But doesn't need to take apart the screen. I did it without removing the screen and the. The covers of the hinges can be removed while the screen is attached. And can adjust the hinges with needle nose pliers. But anyway thank you for the video ❤️

Hello Sir. Purchased a DELL Inspiron 15 3511 on May 2022 for my daughter but was used only a few times. The hinges are good for now, will loosen the screws. But for me is the problem of CPU temperature, which often is more than 90degC, yes looks like their cooling solution is a disaster. Except for a cooling pad, reduced speed on bios, and maybe changing the thermal paste, is there another solution? Thank you.

Will there be no problem after this??

How do I order hinge of this laptop

Thank you very much sir🙏🙏🙏, it is really work and I solve hinge problem with your help thanks a lot

Hi.. I follow every each step.. But after that the laptop cannot turn on.. Also when i put ac supply from the adaptor.. The indication led was not light up and not charging .. Is there anything might be a problem?

Very good video. If we loose these hinges will this laptop will be safe to use without hinges problem for long term?

Thanks it helped on my dell inspiron 3515 now its like a macbook 😊😊😊 youve earned a sub bro

Thank you Anand, this is a good explanation. Inspiron 5401/5408 I bought got that issue after 1 year of purchase. I am so disappointed since it wasn't my fault, I believe it is a manufacturing defect. I moved to another country, and DELL didn't support me in the place where moved.

Hi, did you hear any noise on that laptop? Coz mine qas having a problem also with that hinge, and then has a fan noise. And the battery life takes only for 2 hours.

I have purchased dell a month back and the hinge was damaged and corner of the plastic border detached like you said...will it cover under warrantee?

Thank you sir 🙏 the it problem I fixed it 🙏

Sir i am also facing this problem if i go to dell service center how much cost they could ask ? Any idea

What if it's broken the hinge is not stable in the screen?

Sir., my laptop lid was unable to close why...

This is such a shitty laptop.. My laptop hinge broke too.. It had come out completely.. I had to glue it first and then loosen the screws.. Your video helped a lot to reach the hinge to fix it. Thank you.

Excellent video

I managed to calibrate the hinges but after putting all the parts back, my laptop won't turn on + the LED won't light up when charging. No idea what went wrong. I tried reconnecting the VGA cable but it still won't work. It seems this happened to other people in the comments too, so if someone found a solution, please reply 🙏

Thanks Sir🙏 for this video, I recently got the replaced Inspiron from dell after hinge broke. So, I loosened the hinges of new laptop after watching your video. 1st time screen didn't start, So, I had to open again to properly insert VGA connector. Now it's working like butter.

My problem with my Huawei Matebook 13 is that even before the hinge starts moving, the display has a a lot of excess play and it kinda pries the top and bottom panels of the keyboard apart. Thanks for this video, now I kinda get whats going on. It seems like the screws that attatch the hinges to the keyboard chasis got loose. Ama check this out just as soon as I find the damn pentalope screwdriver

Very good sir keep it up!!!!

Sir one hinge gone and my display also coming out one side what should I do for that 🙆‍♂️🙆‍♂️

Thank you so much sir...🎉

Can you make video on HP 14s fq1092au

They cover it in my country when the hinge broke that is a manufacturing defect. Especially if it is widespread.

I've decided I'm going to do this job. I had to buy a 5.5mm socket...which will be here on Monday. Do you think I'll do a good job....I put new RAM in my laptop, no problems. Looks like a lot of wires to reroute. Great job on the video! I'm definitely worried about the hinges or screen breaking! I'm VERY careful opening the lid....but still. Once I get it to the proper tension, will it STAY at that tension?

Nice video i done the same but when i trying to power on the laptop its not starting please help 😥

Dell replaced the ELD panal issue resolved but after 1 year I am facing tight hinge issue and laptop is not in worranty

I am facing same problem at the moment now, What are the reasons for this issues generate?

I am a senior and not tech savvy, But I do know how to turn a screw. I am not sure why it was necessary to disconnect so many items inside the computer just to loosen the hinge screw. No way I'm taking that much apart, I'll just open with 2 hands.

My hinges is broken . May I change that in local services centre or where I need to go
