Such an underrated youtuber right here. Thanks for saving us a couple of bucks by letting us not to go to the repair shop. All i can do back in return is to not skip any ads from your videos.

I wish I could have find this vid earlier. I broke my hinge standoffs and now I am watching this 😓

Problem with hinges starts when you open the lid in one corner. Always keep opening the laptop lid in the middle. That way both hinges can stay in better condition for longer.

Excellent demonstration emphasizing critical points what to watch out for. Even though I have a different laptop, your video gives insight to work on my laptop. I liked your video. Thank you for your time in making the video and explaining every detail. Also thanks for sharing.

Your approach is excellent; you are attacking the source of the problem. I have watched several videos in KZfaq on "Hinge issue", however, so far I have seen one video other than yours, which indicated to adjust the screws. Wish you all the best!!!

Wish I saw this before I brought my laptop to the repair shop and wasted 100 euro's, just for them to make it worse! The bezel of my laptop broke, so they used glue to glue it back up and charged me 100 euros for it, and then out of ''kindness'' loosened my laptop hinges. It ended up being so lose that just slightly tilting my laptop by picking it up, would make the screen fall back immediately and heavily! Then they ''fixed it'' free of charge, and ended up tightening it WAY too much even though I specified to only tighten it so it doesn't keep falling when I move. Now it physically feels very heavy to open back up now. I'm gonna try and find some good grease for hinges first and try this out myself, thanks for the video! Hope it works.

I appreciate this video because I am having THE EXACT SAME ISSUE with my HP laptop and this helped me so much! Thank you from 2021! Your video is GOLD! Shame on Lenovo AND HP!

Very helpful video for avoiding broken covers and hinges on any laptop. Video very well made and easy to follow along.

I wish that I would of found your video sooner. Thank you for sharing. I appreciated the up close detail!

I believe those hinges are designed to self-tighten, since if they didn't, they would become loose after a while. Today I stumbled upon a hinge model that didn't have a way to adjust, on a Asus X401u. It came to me already with the case broken and lube didn't resolve the problem. But on laptops that weren't broken yet, your tutorial is spot on. Nowadays I advise people that if they have to pry open the lid with two hands, their laptop need a hinge adjustment ASAP, before the inevitable "crack!" sound is heard.

Thank you for saving my laptop۔ My laptop hinge was broken ۔I got it repaired at hp service centre but it lasted for a month or so because the hinge was tight ۔ The service people said the base has to be changed costing 4000 INR۔ and that is not available at present۔ After seeing your video I did it myself ۔ I loosened the hinge and put some elfie۔ Now it works like a charm۔ Thank you۔

This is great. I currently have this problem with my laptop and unfortunately for me it has reached a point whereby its not closing anymore and it has eventually damaged the front casing of my laptop just like u said. I think Ill try this out to fix my laptop, Thank you so much for the info and please keep more of this content coming.

Just the video I needed! Thank you SO much for sharing this.

I have owned two Lenovo laptops now and both times the hinges were problematic and broke the plastic. I didn't realise what the issue was, thanks for this!

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks 😀

That was very helpful.Thank you😀

Thank's for a very well made and informative tutorial. It helped me a lot !!!

I do the same with my ThinkPad T460, just a 30 minutes ago. Loosen the hinge about 45 degree, and now very smooth, I can open the display wiith 1 finger and 1 finger holding. I love my ThinkPad, its a classic laptop with strong durability, except the hinge design will be the problem if to tight. NB: I'm using singer oil, an industrial oil with cheap price.

jeez, all my laptops have the same problem with hinge after a year or two.

Brilliant video, Excellent advise.

Thanks dude, you help me a lot. I hope you Will happy forever after

There is a 5mm hex on the end of hinge bolt. A tubular key for 5mm hex is much better than pliers as you observed. Unfortunatley usually the end is peened on the nut. So the nut can't untighten more. A trick is to tigten the nut (and this will free the nut in rotation) then untighten all the way you can and repeat a couple-a dozen of times. This will loosen the nut eventualy a bit. (basicly forcing the nut out will lightly unpean the end of the bolt). Also by tightening more you will squish the friction plates more maybe making them a bit thinner so when nut is undone to previous location it will loosen.

thank you. great video.

thank you very much. This video helped me in fixing my laptop.

Excellent. Thank you very much.

Very True. Lenovo has a problem with their Hinges. I am here because it happened to me last night. I bought a new Laptop base, but suddenly I started thinking why did my old case crack in the first place. When I observed the Hinges, they were too tight. The reason could be exactly the same as you mentioned. Oils get dried up because of Heat in that area. Thank you for the Video.

Thanks a lot for this video, I really appreciate it 👍🏻

Up close clear view hands on

Thank you for this

Thank you for the suggestion. I was about to replace the hinges, but I think this solution might work for me.

Great video, really enjoyed it

great video! however, I would like to say not to use silicone grease as its application is for o-rings only. for metal on metal like a hinge, I would suggest using white lithium grease.

GREAT JOB AND THANK YOU YOUNG MAN!

You are the best!! Thank you sir!!!!! 😁

Thank youu for your tutorial🙏🏻

You did it awesome 👍

Very helpful 👍🏻

Worked! Thanks

Thank you for the video

super useful thanks! I used motor oil. Have to see how it goes. curious about the mechanical engineering aspect of this though. How the metal springs/washers actually work.

you doing good! keep up whith the work

Thanks, fixed my.problem cause of this.

Thank you so much for the helpful information. My lenovo legion 7i just reached that point yesterday. I thought it was my fault becuase I have the habit of opening the laptop from the left corner and that stressed the right hinge. But I think your point about heat drying out the oils and the hinges being far tighter that they are meant to be, is a great point!

It's very intresting how old laptops never had this problem, the hinge in my new lenovo just broke. Anyways thanks for your torturing I'll go and give it a try👍

awesome video, but with thinkpads or at least with the older models, it's kinda uncommon to hear any hinge problem with them, it's because the hinge mounts are usually molded to a big piece that mounted to a big surface of the body instead of using brass nuts that welded to fragile plastics. But only on higher end thinkpads tho, my brother's x240 do have a big piece of magnesium but my lower end e330 uses the brass mounts that recently broke off

very good skills. thank you.

This definitely helped me.. Thanks.. I used WD-40 though !

good stuff man

whoa that hinges are so though. whats in your opinion if i loosen them before it going so hard. i already have my laptop for 2 years now

Nice brother

Nice

bro is hinge lord

bardzo dobry film wiele się nauczyłem dzięki niemu mój stary laptop pozostał w całości , co prawda na zawiasach poleciały 2 śrubki po jednej na zawias ale dało sie uratować regulacja i działają zawiaski pięknie

Thanks buddy

Same issue with MSI laptops as well. Can't believe ThinkPads also have the same problem.

Nice tutorial my fried spacibo

Dear how we loose hinge of HP probook 6460

this helped me ^^

I was so afraid to take my laptop apart. The left corner has broken off from the keyboard due to a tight hinge and flimsy outer casing. Unfortunately I have to take so many screws out and undo the cables to screen to access the hinge!! After all my efforts I couldn't find a 4.5mm socket anywhere 5mm and 4mm didn't fit. So I'll head to the shop to get one and hopefully everything will be in working order. Toshiba Satellite L50-C-12V By any chance, do you know where I could get extra screws? 🤔

I have a laptop that has exactly this problem. Tried to fix this by loosening the nut and giving it lube, however this has only worked for the left hinge, the right one is still just as stiff.

Great!

Excellent Video - Helped me solve the same problem - Thank you

Good day sir. The laptop I'm using now is the same model as yours but it seems that the hinges were moved to the screen and it was stuck up so I cannot close the laptop. Do you have any tips or vids on how do I fix this? Thank you in advance

I have a dell 7368 laptop/tablet hinge. But the swivel is inside an oval connecting piece which goes from keyboard to monitor (so it can fold all the way backwards). It's too tight. Any ideas?

Merci!

Hey can anyone tell me why my hinge isn’t closing completely, I have the same laptop which is used in this video.

Is it possible on every laptop? To adjust the hinge tightness? Or is it possible to adjust it on Dell Precision 3541?

Please can you explain how to loosen a tight hinge HP ELITE 6930P

So this just happended to my T400. (The hinge just broke in half) and so I bought new ones. But I am scared that they too will brake. Should I loosen the new hinges?

do you have a video for Ideapad 330s? Urgently needed! :(

Hello sir I want to use my laptop without without a screen My laptop display is broken and it is costly to get get new display so I decided to use a external monitor which is which is cheaper to as compared to the laptop display replacement I want to use a external monitor using HDMI port and I want to completely dismantle the display rotation part is it possible to do that I have same type of laptop rotation hinch that shown in this video 14:48 I think it is possible 17:59 I have similar tool box at home I think I can do that at my home

What size wrench do we need to loosen the hinge screws?

Hey! I have a massive similar problem with my HP pavilion gaming laptop and i wanted to know if i can contact you directly somehow! Please let me know if possible ❤️

Man I broke all the standoff mounts, rebuilt them with abs thinking it was cheap plastic, then on the first try broke them and the shell again. All I needed to do was loosen the damn hinges!!

is it normal for laptop lids to bounce a little like at 24:47-24:50? the laptop company told me my new laptop was loose because mine bounces a little too like this. and they told me it was a human damage instead of a natural device fault when I'd only been using it for less than 3 days. was that sound advice?

Great video! Do you think WD40 will be ok to grease the hinge?

I'm assuming this doesn't work with convertible laptops? The hinges on those have two mounting points. One to mounts the hinge to the chassis, and another to the screen. You can't loosen the latter because it's hidden in the screen panel. Only loosening the former is a recipe for disaster because you'll introduce even more imbalances.

I noticed a crack in the frame of my laptop just near the hinge area. I used some Araldite on it but it didn't work and the crack reappeared when I opened the laptop for a couple of times. It is lockdown and I am afraid that it may get worsen. Can I have ur email id so that I can send u pics for some suggestion on that. Your help will be highly appreciated.

Do tight hinges affect laptop display I mean I'm getting some lines in task bar

I have Lenovo ideapad 330 and 5 months ago I had to fix my hinges.Black plastic around the screen was separating and I could not close laptop normal.I fixed that and now it happens again.How could they make that soo bad?What can I do to stop that for happen again?I can not every 5 months take my laptop to servis.

Do the hinges loosen over time? (I am not asking about the frame)

I have a laptop hp g62 with 4gb ram an nvidia gpu

this happen to me now 😩. why Lenovo... why? X1 yoga and the right hinge is sooo tight, cracked the cover. How to do this without taking off the screen panel?

Which is better silicone grease or WD40? I only had WD40, It’s not making much difference yet and the nut is impossible to loosen, it’s a 10 year old dell laptop I’m renovating

Oh so it was a 5mm. I tried doing it with long nose pliers but damn was that hard. It also slips a lot and I'm afraid I might accidentally hit something.

Does anyone know wha size spanner do I use to tighten the hinge. I cannot grab the hinge nut with the pliers...

If the plastic where that metal piece is screwed is not very good/solid, it breaks all the time... They should make it stronger! It's a critical part... Isn't there a better way to loosen that nut? It's just too thin and it's REALLY hard to move it with pliers...

what is the name of the product you use to smooth the shaft?

do you have the link for the last tool you used?

I have had* an hp x360 pavillion since mid June 2019. Almost 5 months. It has minimal scratches, but it's still like new. The hinges are tight as hell though! I have a cracked frame going around the lid; deeper at the side and travelling along the front into the screen. The screen is untouched though. This crack is about 2 inches above the hinge, on the left side. Please explain how I can fix it? Do I need to remove the screen to fix the frame? Will gorilla glue fix the frame? Can oil fix the hinges or must I do everything as you have done for that? Thanks in advance!!

Where are you from my friend? Your English are mix with Slavic ... color. Many hallo from Greece 😉😉

This is tight

Kindly tell me the name of the gell that you have applied it for hinges

Honestly I’ve been taping mine up I don’t have a place to get it fixed around here

Hey brother i have hear some cracking noise from the hinges in this video is this normal due to the plastic built… because i am facing same cracking noise in my laptop .. would you plzz help… I would be very thankful

Any thoughts on Asus after 1 year?

The hinge of my laptop seems to be taken off. I don't know what to do huhu

I think the manufacture has a better way to do this hinge. Most laptop will not last over 4 years, the hinges already stuck and break the screen.

can i ad oil in hinges to make it smooth ?
