You just saved me $250 repair, and not even permanent fix thanks

Tried this 3 days ago and my hinge is working great so far! **UPDATE 2 weeks, still perfect!

I wonder why HP never takes their hinge problem seriously.

THIS WORKS!! I just tried it, and I must say, I was willing to spend around $50 to get the hinge fixed. I don't have that little dropper for the baking soda, so I used one of my tiny screw drivers to "shovel" some in place. I already had the super glue and baking soda, so this is just priceless!

Two years later and this video is still helping people. Thanks a ton!

Man, you're a fuxxing genius .... I fixed my pc with this method .... I don't know how much it will hold up because it was the first time I did it and maybe I could equip myself a little better even to better distribute the bicarbonate ...... but the result was crazy. .... when it dries it becomes almost duller than epoxy glue ..... I also softened the hinges a little to make them do less resistance and consequently less leverage on the repaired part .... THANKS for your sharing .....

It actually works! Thanks a million, I've saved so much money and my laptop works good as new

This video is priceless! Thank You! Don't know how I didn't think of this myself!

Hey 👋 thank you so much, I did it and it worked. You just saved me 45$ of repair

Thank you very much!! Mine is broken both the hinges and I finished the right one (but tried to open it lmao) and damn it works great, feels like new!

By far the most down-to-earth and clear-as-day explanation...kudos friend!

Awesome Video , another tip, loosen the the hinges slightly . In my experience hinges are often too tight, which could be part of the issue in the first instance . About half a turn with a nut spinner ( M5/M5.5/M6 too hard with plyers ) each end of the hinges . Also Silicone grease or 3 in 1 oil helps

Thanks! I used Araldite's All Purpose Epoxy Adhesive ( resin + hardener) instead and then followed thr steps as mentioned in this video. It fixed the hinge. The official HP service centre was charging 80 Dollars for the same task.

I've never heard of using baking soda with super glue. Very interesting! What I usually do is drill a hole in the bottom case, where each brass nut is broken loose, and run a small long bolt through the bottom. I put the original brass nut on first, tighten it down a bit, then the hinge on top of that, and another nut on top of the hinge.

Thank you so much, I currently own an MSI GS75 Stealth, and I’ve heard of MSI laptop hinges having problems, so I’m preparing myself just in case something like this happens.

Four years after this was uploaded, I’ve tried this repair method on a Dell Vostro 3360 and it worked perfectly - thank you!

Another tip is to put the metallic inserts on the tip of a hot soldering iron and drop them slowly on the plastic casing. The hot insert will sink in the casing as your detach the soldering iron with something a screw driver . You can continue to add super glue or form some plastic around the inserts.This is permanent

Awesome! I have ZERO skills for this stuff, still it worked great. Great enough to have me here recomending this option I must add =) Thank you!

So much thank you!!!!!!! I can't express my gratitude in words......thank you for the baking soda technique... I'll now try it...❤❤❤

Thank you so much for posting this. Weeks ago We got a Toshiba satellite lap top off of eBay. for my wife. I know it had broken hingers and thought it be OK when we got it. it was not that bad But as she use it it got progressively worse. to the point i was all most unusable But watching your video I was able to repair it with the superglue and baking soda it works find now like new

Thanks a lot. I repaired my laptop's hinges with the help of your video. Now it works fine.

Thank you I followed as you said and repaired my laptop by myself. thank you very much.

perfect, didn't believed that this mix will be so rock solid and hard, it really helps and works, thanks a lot for your tutorial!!

Oh man, I'm going to remember this for next time. This is absolutely ingenious.

Great video. I was so surprised to see that the laptop you were fixing was the same model I own 0: . I guess this particular model gets broken hinges commonly. Thank you for sharing the secret ingredient baking soda with us. Found this video extremely helpful.

Thanks. This was very helpful. I was able to repair my partner's Lenovo laptop with the bad hinge design which tightens over time. The superglue and bicarb soda worked so well, it is amazing. Don't forget to adjust the hinge tension - some hinges get tighter as they age, which puts excessive force on the surrounding plastics. I also added a little lubrication to the hinge. So far, so good...

this is exactly what i was looking for. thank you for the upload

Worked like a miracle.

It works as magic!! Thank you so much. Just be careful because the mix of super glue and baking soda gets hard very fast! I have not been able to gather the plastic bits because they were many and very small so I rebuilt the plastic cylinders where the screws go with the mixture of super glue and baking soda and there have been no problems =)

Useful. Thanks.

Congratulation for this very well produced video; the image is of a high resolution and the narration is well written. Although I am very handy and can repair many things; I was not aware of the strength of mixing super glue with baking soda. I tried this on a broken hing of an ASUS laptop and the result was amazing.

thank you very very much from Korea. i'm gonna do this tommorrow.

Thanks! It really helped me.

thank you very much man , you're a genius

Amazing 🤩! Great 5 minutes video saved me a lot of money! Thanks so much! Please go ahead and don’t stop the amazing videos and you deserve the like and share and subscription!

Pretty cool idea thank you. Seems a tad more cumbersome on the lcd cover screw mounts given the limited space. I usually loosen the hinges a bit since theyre often the source of the problem (hp toshiba lenovo... what a nightmare)

Well done and thanks for the upload...

I just saved $40 dollars for repair. Thanks to this!

This is awesome!

Works wonders! I must add that you should also oil up or use WD-40 on the hinge mechanism to loosen it up/put less strain on the new hinges.

I used the bolt through technique 4 x M2.5 x10mm on my G3 255 Secured with a nut on the back if the screen case. There was nothing left of the plastic cups to put the brass inserts into. Rock solid and will not snap off - not bothered what it looks like - laptop is 8 years old anyway.

Worked really well

Hey man, thank you for the lesson, you have save both me and my wallet :) 👑

Great simple guide nice

Thanks, this works. For beginners suggest you cover the screw threads with tape first!

Thank you!

Thank-you sir it helped me

I was planning to buy a whole new body for my laptop that has the hinge broken and lifting. I am going to try this and I hope it works out. Problem is my screws are gone and I have no way of finding out which ones they were so I cam buy to fit in.

thanks for your help

Thanks for sharing your knowledge bro.. very useful. Usually my friend told me for using sand, and glue. But always cracked when I try to open the laptop. Will try ur method this time.

Bro I got my dell g3 new laptop 3 months ago, and now I'm having this bullshit problem, thanks for the method, gonna try it today and see how it goes, thanks a lot.

you are amazing!!! thanks!!!

Unga videos romba use full ah irukku irundhalum oru doubt clear pannunga Hinges thread illa fix pandradhukku ulla brass holders kuda illa na enna pandradhu nu oru video podunga

Thanks man

Cool this idea actually works. Thanks...

Dam i need this, thanks you get my sub 👍

Thank you. Works perfekt. Alredy 6 Months now and can confirm this method works good. I had only one side broken but i did both sides just to make the other side more solid..

Thanks pro 🌹🌹🌹🌹

Perfect... Thank you...

Thank you very much!!

Thank you

amazing video

Thanks sir from india

I used this hack with my laptop in October 2021. Now in 2023, 20 months later, it finally gave out. I'm gonna try to fix it again the same way, but I think an extra 20 months with my laptop was great either way.

That's the best durable method I tried and last so far... I'm yet to try the Hot Glue.. Some say it lasts also if heated properly... Faster to apply than this method so.. Let's see

I have tried cyanoacrylate to re-set hinge anchor points. But actually gorilla weld or jb weld has worked best, if you put the mix in a 20ml oral dispensing syringe after mixing, you can use micro-control to build up your anchor points after you have placed them. I usually use a mobile-fixable desk-mounted lighted magnifying glass and tweezers as well to get the fit and finish right. The one thing I noticed that you didn't do, was remove the circuit board away from the affected area and reinstall them later. I always remove the circuit boards so that in case I make a mistake, they won't be damaged or accidently glued in place in case another tech needs to work on it in the future for some other issue.

aweeesome. just what I need, a huge thanks! man.. i just wish my hands wouldnt shiver as much as they do :/

It's the black plastic part surrounding the brass inserts that broke into tiny pieces and I can't put it back together. Some of it is gone. What would you suggest? Edit: Oh I replayed it and heard you say it's okay not to have the plastic part and to just glue the brass inserts on? Edit: I found the same question that you answered. Thank you so much. You're a lifesaver! (My laptop is pretty much the breadwinner).

Thanka for sharing, i fix a lot of laptops and have been using epoxy for hinges with mixed results. Will try this method. Si there any curing time?

Brilliant! You did it , I did it , too! And ,🤓😲💃you saved me $50!!! Happy day & Happy hour!!!

great video man one question which model hp is that ?

I work for laptop repair shop years ago. No body know this trick yet. Wish I know this earlier, so can fix my now dead dell latitude..

Usen resina + pegamento, el combo que venden en ferreterías. Ese pega el plástico y para partirse hay que darle tremenda presión. Pega 10 veces más que un pegaloca o pegatodo, pero se requiere 24 horas para que pegue completamente.

Hey bro I also have the exact laptop and I fixed it this way and it's look good my question is this won't like decay or break like every month right? On average how much time will this hold

awesome video I do the same for you

I've used this trick for a lot of years, for my own laptop is fine, but for clients computers I just use 2 part epoxy. Harder to affix it in place, because it takes time to cure, but afterwards is near indestructible. One of my heavier media laptops has metal parts broken break apart after years of use, so no epoxy or superglue can help - there I just DRILLED TROUGH the laptop body, and put a steel plate on the other side. Looks ugly but it works. Because design allows for it to work. In newer slimmer laptops the plate and end of screws would cut into screen when fully closed.

i am using this combination (super glue + baking soda) for my daily repair issues at home and it works in any circumstances on any objects. But this time i need to use them for my MSI Laptop hinges

Very nice.

that is something new nice vid

man you are a miracle

Hi! What is thread size and length you used? If it matters I have an Acer Nitro 5

Broo can u have a try and look at broken hinges on hp laptop i5 15.6 inch 1tb versions because fsr my hinges on the left is broken and I didn’t drop it anytime I’ve taken a lot of good care of it the right hinge is perfectly fine

what container did you use for the baking soda?

J.B weld also works great!

thnq

Baking soda, huh? I had heard about this one before, but never applied it to computers. Thanks!

Great video, sad that hadn't thought about this one myself, but I have fixed some other things with this method and I must say that things that need some elasticity or have high/frequent stress are cracking this composite quite fast, like in a month or two. But overall that is so stupid that those high stress areas are so often made of cheap plastic that lasts just enough to get you through warranty period of the device. Like even my MSI laptop I bought 3 years ago for like 1900 euros started falling apart half a year ago, so I had to buy a new front panel for another 120 euros. Thats considering the fact that I was closing the laptop only once a week and it was mostly stationary device.

Could you please make a video on keyboard replacement of DELL inspiron 3793 , thank you.

Thanks I’ll take a stab at it. 😊 My issue is a 3 year old MSI laptop right now hinge all the sudden became stiff. Now has ripped up the display. Laptop still works just don’t close it.

Great video !!! what is this powder?

King 👑

awesome, thanks! mate, how could I fix a broeken (in two) braket. I don'y what material it is, but Im pretty sure the compound is similar to all laptops. thanks!

I did it and failed the first time. It took me about 3 hour to scrape back the glue using alcohol. Although it not perfect. I tried the 2nd time and worked nicely. The laptop now has a bit bulge because i cannot fully close but the hinge is repaired. Thank you.

Yea this became a problem for me and i stopped cleaning my laptop because i found out that the screws cant be tightened again if i loose it one more time

I've applied the same solution for my ASUS FX504 and to avoid the getting clue inside I inserted bolts into the nuts a little bit.

Good day sir. What size are the for the brass? I'm having the same laptop as the one on the video

I have a problem right now when it comes to that hinge.. May I ask what should I buy for the sizes of the brass insert for MSI Modern 14.

Edit: This comment was made in the drying process before I let it fully cure. Second comment explains what is recommended!! OMG THANK YOU. This is extremely helpful! Unfortunately, my plastic pieces that hold the little threads are completely off. They shattered and came off with the screws. Trying to glue the golden pieces directly to the plastic backing and keep them leveled without able to have the plastic holding them. Currently letting my Asus Vivobook sit out and dry and hopefully this will at least be a temporary fix and allow it to close properly again. Thanks again for this video!

nice video, tks for sharing. 2:41 -> any tip for not glue the board too?

What brass insert kit to buy? I have a HP Probook 430 g2 and I need just 5 of them.
