THANK YOU!!! I was able to repair the computer. The tech at geek squad told me my computer was toast and the repair would be roughly half the cost of the computer. For a mere $40 my computer is as good as new!!!

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, but everything is repaired now. As others have experienced, I was quoted $200-250 to repair this - plus the loss of my laptop for some indeterminate time. This was so much better.

Thanks for the video, I was able to repair the hinges for $42. Dell support wanted almost $200. Thanks again.

good run through - nice to see the order of things to swap

Thank you for the demonstration. It was very helpful for my repair.

Many thanks my friend for this video. I repair myself my computer following it.... Wonderful!

Excellent explanation. Thanks you so much.

dude thank you so much the tech guy said it would cost like $200 i talked to dell got the back of the screen for 16bucks with the wlan cables

Thanks so much! My dad and I just switched out the hinges on my laptop and we followed this, and we successfully did it! Thanks for posting!

Just finished replacing top and hinges using this video. Went fairly well. the only problem I had was was I wasn't plugging the plug from the screen to motherboard correctly. Finally noticed in 3rd disassembly that he was lifting the little black tab on the motherboard to plug it in. I tried that and it went in correctly. It is the short wire out of the screen not the wifi antenna. One tip is you wont need to buy hinges like I did. It is the plastic that fails. You can reuse the hinges.

Thank you very much

NICE JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great video. I have the same issue with my laptop where the hinge screws and the screw pem nuts pulled out from the lid. I am going to try using J-B Weld Epoxy. I will be leaving the screws and pem nuts attached to the hinge and coating the mating side with the epoxy. If it doesn't hold then I will replace the lid. Wish me luck.

Great video! Question: What is that orange tape you used? Does it have a name? Also does every broken hinge have to be fixed with a new back cover as well, or can a hinge be fixed/ replaced without replacing the back?

Thank You!! Would of been better if you would of narrated all the way through but I was able to follow you. Thanks again!

Are 3501 and 3510 hinges location are same in laptop

Can you please give me a buy link for this screen back cover dell Inspiron 3511

Hi. Hinge was only broken. Does the top lid also need replacement?

Hi. I'd like to try to repair my hinges...Can you please tell me the part numbers I will need? Thank you so much!

is it necessary to change the back cover? I have the same hinge issue I fix it in a computer show, it cost me 600 rupees.

la cinta naranja donde se compra q militros son o la marca

Sir why should we remove battery connector during this process? Sir Please reply 🙏

I have exactly same problem. It is within Dell one year warranty. Technician came and fixed it and told me for this laptop, do not open it more than 90 degree, the hinge of this model is not designed to open laptop wide. So I will open it narrower to use.

so many of these dell model comes to me for repair for hinge and its the flaw of the design or maybe the plastic problem is most of them when hinge is destroyed most of them usually shorts the 3.3v on the edp wire and causing a short on SUPERIO

Sir how much cost of display back pannel

Cost?? For total

A better explanation as you go along, instead of the music, would be more efficient. Just a suggestion.

The fact that u have to open a brand new DELL to loosing the hinge so u dont broke is infurating, why DELL dont do their job seriously ???

Bad repair job, he put the short double sided tape, next time if you want to remove LCD you may get into trouble.

How much does it cost to repair the laptop as u showed in video @thepcphone
