Thank you so much. I had hinges problem with an Asus laptop bought $1400. CAD 1year and 2 months ago, so warranty over. To fix it it would have cost me over $300. I searched a lot for help until I found your video. I followed your instructions and fixed my problem. It's the second time that I take advantage of your competence and devotion. Thank you.
Ooooh! four videos in one day! Thank you Senpai Sorin.
i wish you were my neighbour Mr Sorin, it would be nice to chat with you about anything.
...we are getting older, fixing rubbish... That sums it all up! Thanx , bro!
Hi! I just wanna thank you for your help. There are many ways you are helping me. First of all, updating my knowledge and showing me that repairing new consumer electronics is profitable. Before I was looking for another business because I can't see a way in the repairshop's area.
Second, I think that you give me anther point of view about schematics. Before I was atached to them. Now I am learnig how stuff works, that it is like a "swiss knife" tool. How it is said: not knowing is like not seeing (don't know how the translations from spanish).
There are others ways you contribute and help transferring your experience and knowledge in different topics (technology, business, tricks, etc).
Keep going with the videos and tricks (hot glue, petrol, amps (a lot haha)).
Dear Sorin
It's like christmas.. so many videos!
Thank you for sharing!
I totally agree, this model is the worst design for hinges. My parents laptop was to brought to service 3 times for hinge replacement during warranty. Unfortunately the warranty is now over and the hinges are broken again ... :(
where is the hot glue badge? hahaha, i really enjoy watching all your hot glue videos!
The MR. HOT GLUE SORIN........You are the best
I just drill right through the hinge and the plastic. Then I use two small brass nut and bolts. File them smooth.
Epoxy the hinge mounts in then apply hot glue....... it’s a lot stronger
Thought the same. A lot of force on a small area where closing and opening the lid/screen. My best solution is sadly to drill through and fix screws through just to be sure it lasts (not always pretty though).
super glue and baking soda is what we use. you can even sand it with a dremel tool
Love all your videos keep up all the great work
Any idea how long this fix lasted?
That issue happened to my lenovo ideapad 310-15isk too. Broken the plastic under the right hinge. The repair with bicomponent glue has been during for a year, after I decided to replace the entire case. It would be nice if someone thinks to do these pieces with alloy instead of plastic.
Very good work but you need to check all connections again specifically hdd and ot well work
I had the same model for 3 years.. Now I have the same problem with hinges.. But there is more flaws in the design.. the bezel has sticks that are supposed to keep the screen from coming in contact with the keyboard once it's closed. They can very easily come off.. The screen than gets imprints from contact with the keyboard and the bezel gets scuffed.. when I bought it, it came with Windows 8.1. they put the wrong drivers DVD with it, and i couldn't get its graphics card to run until I updated to Windows 10. When I switched to Linux, the graphics card did not a driver. The plastic inside got broken easily each time opened for some repair.. so Sir, you just made me sight, one more time...
Using hot glue to fix hinges? Fine, you win! *subscribes, grabs popcorn and coca-cola*
Great fix.
this feels like old times many jobs in one day .Great!
My toshiba was having broken hinge from both side too and.. Fixed with hot glue :). The only issue is that my hinge is hard, that's why it break i put every month a drop of WD40 into the hinge and that fix the "high force"
I did it with a hot glue gun Sorin, so far everything is fine :| Maybe the thing is to wait, wait for the gun to be very hot
Hey have you or any of the ppl in your group of friends figured out a use for iCloud locked iPads or iPhones? I know this hasn’t anything todo with the video but I’ve been watching you forever now and was curious about your guys thoughts on if you can turn locked device into anything other than a paperweight or parts device. Thank so much for all you do on the tube.
Good job
My hot glue hero :)
Hello sir Hot glue is really good for broken hinges repair???
Crappy cases! I've had to fix both hinges on my son's laptop. Showers of broken plastic when you open the case. My solution was to fill the cavity under the hinge with quick epoxy and use a 2.5mm allen cap head bolt through the existing screw hole to the outside of the case with an oversize washer and a nut outside. Had to remove the brass insert and a little plastic to accommodate the bolt head above the hinge so that the cover/palm rest seats OK. Incidentally the fan is not attached to the back of the keyboard, just to an ally plate.
Ok, lots and lots of videos of how to glue a hinge or what else, not one single video if hinge is broken in 2 pieces, the long part of the hinge wich is screwed to the side of the screen
So how to do that ?
MIG or TIG welding ?
Everyone has that staff at home of course....
Dude seriously thank you
Sorin spree today :). Thank you sir!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't a laptop work weather the battery is connected or not? I've never had one that doesn't work when the power supply is working and connected.
Is that special hot glue
Which one u use
Plzzz tell me
plz can you send me the link of glue where to buy
This is very very bad design laptop. Specially on the left hinge. It always broke the hole plastic around the fan.
Hi
I have the same laptop. The right hinge is somehow loose and cause the back body to open a little bit when i push it backwards.
Recently, wifi signal is lost when the lid is pushed back.
Can the lid and hinge affect the network adaptor in any means?
Great Work!... Repair on a Very Bad Design!!!!
Hi Sorin, I fixed one of this laptop with a faulty mosfet, now I would like to reassemble it but I’m facing problems with both hinges.
I’ve not caught exactly the sandwich tactic. Shall I just close quickly the upper chassis, after glueing the hinge? I’m afraid for the cables in the left part if they got glued :(
okay i paused got the popcorn and cold brew
This happens because the hinge lubrication dries and the hinges become too tight . You should loosen them with some plyers
Many laptops, particularly DELL's have a hinge with a spring tensioner. The hex head screw tends to tighten on its' own during repeated opening and closing of the laptop. Eventually, the tension is too great and the weakest point fails, which is the plastic attachments in the cover or the base. When re-securing the hinges, the screw needs to be adjusted to relieve the tension and then lock the screw in place with Loc-Tite.
Hi Sorin, can you tell us what tools are you using to open the plastic clips and where we can find them for buying? I know this sound like a foolish question but when i try to open a monitor i broke almost all plastic clips :)
Mihai Todea Type on eBay or AliExpress "Case opening tool"
@@TimeToRelax222 thanks for your answer ... my search on eBay or AliExpress using your indicated key words ( "Case opening tool") returned me only watch case opening tools ... anyway extending the researches i found that the tools for opening plastic clips are called SPUDGER so using the key words "Spudger opening tool" returned me the things i need ... thanks again!
The same problem facing in my g50-80. LED is blinking but not charging and turn on after a few seconds automatically turn of. The same problem. What I want to do?
Done this many times i have to do this week, tried many times with hot glue, especially with older heavy screens it simply does not work long enough to make it worth doing, i just ordered a new base,
mostly due to design problems, I know i will have to do it again next year. Poor quality and bad design,
this time i will cover the laptop les in JB weld before it snaps off..If you look at the bases they sell 100s of them lol its obvious.
I think another problem is not just the hot glue but if its an older heavy screen or if its a led screen you
will have a much better chance of the hot glue working with LED as its loads lighter.Im surprised at
lenovo having this problem..
This is one of them im doing this week t Acer Aspire V3-571G V3-551G V3-571g Q5WV1 laptops all have
the same problem i will be putting JB weld on it before i put it on before it snaps LOL..
Another tip don't get hot glue all over or it will not shut and watch for the power cable never tried with
500 deg though i think that will make a difference,This base looks exactly like the ones they used for the
base mentioned above.
Sad thing is It's not even poor design, it's designed to fail from the start.
Engineers have classes on planned obsolescence.
guys am going to file the case against Lenovo about hinge issue I need to your support. Because the same issue happens with you please reply to me on 13194rahul@gmail.com
@@rohitpawar9886 good luck with that
Have a nice very beautyful day
I got a new laptop HP 14 Ck0022TX after a month, both Hinges breaks on the bottom case. I went to HP customer service they tell me the problem is Drop my laptop causes the hinge broke. But I didnt Drop my new laptop.
Why is not notebook running without battery??????
my guest would be the battery is so low that when it accesses the hard drive the current just drains the battery
I tried that with my yoga, didnt work
Unfortunately, you get what you pay for. At least they put in a fan and not just a spacer. Those soft plastics are nasty to try to re-enforce.
They are manufactured exactly the timing to be faulty after 1-2 years outside warranty, so the customer will buy new one again XD
Many laptop now days won't turn on without battery. Crazy if the battery die the laptop die
you are guessing while removing and reapplying all the screws, no wonder. The computer is not booting because you probably failed to re-attach a flex cable.... and youre stubborn to take it apart, i dont see why you wont disassemble it once again. Thats a fail to me. You have to reopen it, you like it or not. Video length is not an excuse.
stfu stupid dumb
Tablets pretending to be Laptops..lol
True, im using that laptop and its plastic quality is so poor. you can even bend the screen🤦♂️
lenovo is the worst.. It has worst physical make, almost always hinge breaks... I also have one with broken hinge...
сладур!
why they have to make laptops and phones thinner and thinner i'll never know ? who wants this ? just makes the thing break easier and have less battery life (thinner smaller batteries ) unless the manufacturers for some reason want their products to break down after 3-4 years...............so we have to go out and buy new ones ?.............i wonder ?? :)
i have the same exact model ..the plastic quality and the way this laptop is made is shit never using or buying lenovo again even if it was 1000$ .dell and hp are still better
Hot glue - LOL, it will not last 3 days!!
Good job
