Glad it was useful. Mine is still working fine.

can you link us, commoners, the video?

Yes, it is disappointing as Lenovo was one of the better brands 5 years ago.

@@VincesDIYs The IBM laptops were bulletproof - the Chinese cheaped out.

I have an ideapad with this issue. I have repaired it like three times now, each time taking care to remove all old epoxy on both sides. I think I am gonna run screws through the back

Hope this works for you!

Happy that it was helpful!

Happy it was helpful!

Agreed. They are shoddy.

Lenovo fucker me two times #boycott lenovo

BS. They're ridiculously reliable if you're not a moron who throws it around like their wife.

It’s an ongoing issue. Where I work, we purchased 3500 L13’s and many of them have the same issue. Have to train users to close the lid from the middle or with both hands.

Holy cowwwww 😮

Happy to have helped

Ya, it’s a poor design. You would think that they would fix it.

same here dude, my legion7i's hinge was broken after 9 months of use

totally agree with you, shocked that a high end pc has such inferior quality hardware. NEVER PURCHASE anything from this brand.

@@nikcentered Mine was damaged due to the flex in the lower frame and it's a desine fault. Wish I knew this erlier. Would buy Mac if it wasn't for their gender confusion support!

Same here .. i own a y520 legion. And it suddenly had these crack noise. I thought my unit was faulty and generally these problem happen after warranty is expired. I thought new legion would be better due to design, but again seeing your video it seems it's a shitty brand overall.

I have not tried but I think the bezel will come off. You could also put on grease or wd40 on the bezel to keep it from sticking. I used super glue to temporarily attach the hinge while the epoxy set. The other hinge broke since and I did it without the super glue and that worked fine. Just don’t use too much epoxy.

Good to know. But this is a common issues with many current Lenovo laptops.

Really? I did this method on mine but only removed the corner part of the bezel needed for repair, not all of it like on the video, one side at the time because both came off. Still hesitant about the epoxy since there is less free space around the hinge, and there is a little thing attached to it on the screen side that I have no idea what it is, so I couldn't take it off completely, only lifted it a little bit to apply the super glue. The super glue is holding fine for now.

Lenovo’s are not what they used to be….

Yup, as IT techs, we used to love Lenovo quality but it seems to be slipping.

Well I was checking the construction of this Lenovo and i need the same as you because the hinge is with the screen no just there

The hinge is stiff to hold up the screen. I think the problem is with the weakness of how the hinge is attached to the lid.

Just make sure you don’t use too much glue

@@VincesDIYs they used to put a whole metal arm up the side of the screen to distribute the force when you open/close the display, or a metal body laptop is usually fine since the bezel is strong enough, but this short hinge on a plastic bezel is just destined to break.

Just make sure to not use too much epoxy.

@@VincesDIYs Just put some epoxy in yesterday and it's already working fine. Thanks so much!

@@jakesutton9822 glad it worked!

I would pull off the bezel and make sure the hinges are not loose at all

Thanks!

Sorry about your luck. Not sure about disabling the touch screen. Have you checked in the bios?

Try going to Device manager,open “human interface devices” and disable ‘hid compliant touch screen”

I got it disabled. Thank you. Will try to stick the hinge again at a later date.

I would not use silicone. Use epoxy or jb weld

If you always open it with two hands, one on each corner, you should be fine. No one handed opening.

Just open it with two hands and it will probably be fine.

It’s disappointing. They used to be better quality

Does it matter which super glue? Or does it have to be this glue shown in the video?

And how long does it take to dry?

Still working today

I used epoxy

A few minutes but I let it set overnight

The screen flexes which makes it not work correctly

You can scrape it off if necessary.

Yea, I believe it is.

Yes, it is a poor design by Lenovo.

Just generic crazy glue

Not that I know of

Maybe some grease on the hinge?

Agreed. Problem is all manufacturers build in china. It’s a bad design that they should have identified and fixed quicker.

Probably need a new screen then.

Yes, they are not what they used to be….

Most epoxies should be fine. Just use it sparingly

I tried using gorilla epoxy and the hinge came off 5 days after the epoxy had cured

Check what your epoxy says for drying time. Leave it a few hours and you should be fine.

Not sure I understand you question. After it’s broken you should grab it by the hinge location to open it.

Then this may not work for you

never mind it won’t

same concept. same design. same fix will apply.

Correct - can work for many different hinge styles

It’s still fine

Happy to hear that!

Pretty all major brands are now made in china…..
