Fun fact everyone here has a fucked up laptop 😂
And I did it at 12.I’m here to seek help
mine happened after 7 days of purchase and cant return it because of 7 days return policy
Just bought hp envy 360 still in its box and im dumbfounded what im hearing
@andresmovement3595 I have the same one; 17 inches.
Thank you for the lesson on how to open a laptop, no one tells you these things when you buy them. Maybe the manufacturer needs to put a sticker on it. I am pretty sure I open mine from the center, but I will be more diligent about it now. Thank you
Bro I was so scared when I saw this. I thought I broke my laptop, my mom sure as hell won't buy me another one lol. Thank god its reparable!!
I'm currently going through it. ,i have no idea how it can be fixed or whatsoever, what should I do
@@AvniHarit-li9sr bring it to a computer center, better an official one you can find on the site of your laptop's brand.
Bro same thing happens to me
@@harishsharma7568 Lol I first ignored it, but gradually the problem grew and it led to a crack in internal screen due to pressure...
Ultimately the screen went green/pink/black and then one day it just switched off. It was a mess and it cost me about 2000 inr to fix the screen AND the hinges. If you're facing the same problem, do get it checked before you also go through the same shit I went through :')
If its just the hinges, it can be fixed at low cost.
A cracked screen bezel in the corner of the screen was my first experience with opening from the side back in the late 90's. The shop accused me of opening the screen back too far and because of that accusation I never returned to them. A couple of years later I found out about opening from the corners will cause damage. This was at a time when laptop screens were latched closed in the corners so that didn't help with the behaviour.
I've told everyone since then open from the centre.
Always a thought I wanted to tell people 👭 but is good that you just did one now and thanks pap
Thats really informative,thank you! Also when he said he only charge whats the material cost, and pay up the "labor fee" himself , i knew he is the real one. He should get paid more!
Thanks for sharing this. I also do repairs like that occasionally. Most of the time lenovos, they get brittle after a couple of years. I always make the friction of the hinges a little lesser. That way the stress on the enclosure parts is a bit lesser. I also use abs plastic and AB glue to reinforce the enclosures.
Instead of doing ccassional repair, simply fill the time by jacking off. Yep, that's where the future is at
hey just wondering how much a repair like this would typically cost?
@@tinymoondog7705 Depends on what laptop you have, but for Lenovos around $320.
My Lenovo is suffering rnnn
@@dj_nahji I got my hinges fixed for 98 bucks. But my screen wasn't broken so it was pretty cheap
You make great videos! Thanks.
Thank you for the information 🙏🙏🙏 Was really helpful. Hoping the actual repair won't drain me dry now smh
Just had this happen to me with my Dell 3511 which are notorious for broken hinges. Thanks to Ebay for new parts and TH-cam videos I was able to do the repair myself for about $40 which included new cover, bezel, and hinges. Taking it apart and putting it back together was a lot easier than it looked, (take your time). One of the repair videos I watched suggested adjusting the tension in the hinges to make it a little easier to open and close which should make your repair less likely to need repeating.
Same ! This model of Dell Has many faults , There are so many people complaining about this model and It is true! This model is not worth buying it , I can't believe Dell being a trusted company, It has Models like 3511 , Literally the worst one , You gotta Handle it with a lot of care , even The Slightest pressure on One side can ruin The hinge again
Same model
Same here
Same model
@@souravpal5782 It's been 5 months and my repair is still holding strong. Remrmber to loosen the hinge tension some so there's not so much pressure placed on the hinges.
It happened to me and I told my parents, fortunately I got scolding a lil and now my brother is helping me to get fixed....
yeah, same here. For some reason, it's all our fault that the thing doesn't work the way it was supposed to work. It's because we're too "careless" to it even tho this junk is being more well treated by us than most children its age by their parents
Recently my laptop hinge is broken. But your video give a good idea that how can I fix and how you deal with this problem. Thank you so much sir
Thank you for this video, I was able to open the laptop, the hinge was completely stuck before. I have no money(or intention) to repair it, so I'll just power through and make enough to buy a new one
thank you for showing this!
Even opening from the center will still break it, sooner or later. It's the failure of both mechanical design and choice of materials in pursuit of lightness and slimness.
Excellent video Dale. My Dell 3521 laptop has the bezel coming loose next to the right hinge, could you possibly tell me if I can just remove the bezel by unsnapping it, or do i need to remove the bottom to see what is going on. hinge is tight just the bezel is out about 16th" It is 9 years old, problem is I really like it and want to to fix it. I am wondering if it could possibly just be a tab on the trim bezel & not the base. The trim bezels are only $15 or so.
Thank You
Thank you for this video, very informative. Seems like all these newer laptops unfortunately are having the same issue. A few weeks ago my Galaxy Book 3 360 broke on the right side hinge and popped the screen out. The laaaaaast thing I was expecting, it was only 14 D A Y S old
So sad to know that 😢
I prefer the laptops with long center hinges. They seem like a sturdier design not subject to the opening stress of laptops with two flimsy hinges.
I've got a lenovo laptop with long center hinge but still had this problem because there are still two attachments on either side which have these manufacturing defects
Thanks for the post. Just had this on an HP envy 13ba I have had many laptops over the last 30 odd years and this is the first it has happened to me. As you say the plastic degrades over time and on the hp one side failed quite badly. Used a resin to effect a repair but not sure how long that will last. Very disappointing given this weakness will lead to a lot of laptops being destoyed well before what should be their useful lifetimes.
U are not alone
HOW DO I FIX THIS PLEASE I HAVE AN HP ENVY SOMETHING TOO AND IT JUST FULLY CRACKED AND I NEED IT😭😭
I used plenty of areldite as the hinges themselves are ok but the case plastic cracked - it seems to be holding so far the alternate is a completely new plastic base
Thank you for the video Sir. My laptop started to fail with the hinge, but I never thought it would be a problem. Now I have a dark-black stain in my lower right corner. It´s not a big deal, but it´s very annoying. Thanks for the advice, now and in the future I will open my laptop from the center. Actually not right now because I can´t close my laptop anymore, the 4 Phillips screws fell down, and the hinge doesn´t move anymore. Actually, my laptop is also a Dell Inspiron 15 5000 Series like that one in the video. Thanks for the video, and thanks for the information. Greetings from Mexico
same i cant close my laptop now so should i repair it at phone services?
@@iTUROmo I used my laptop for 4 years, and one day I noticed it started to be broken from the corner, but it was not a big deal, but then my cable from my charger got stuck and when I released it, the stain suddenly appeared and I was unable to close my laptop, it had to be open all the time. The solution I took was to change the whole screen even with the lid. I used the screen of a friend who had the same model of the laptop. At least it works fine again. My previous screen worked fine, but it was very annoying to see the stain, actually I felt it was getting bigger every time I tried to adjust the angle of the screen, I had to used 90° open hahaha.
I had to use it 90° open**
Thank you for the video! I noticed over time the hinge will gets more heavy. Can you make a video about how to remove the most commom type of hinge and how to open up them, clean them, (maybe take away burrs), oil them to let them work more easily? Found out some hinges are expensive and makes replacing them not worth it. (added to the broken cover/inserts).
Question Which make of laptop do you absolutely hate working with?. Good video
Where are you located and how much is it to fix the hinge on an HP Pavilion laptop?
Company should focus more on hinge design
thnks for share , how to rebuild broke hinge, good idea
Hey Dale nice video, it's unfortunate because this happened to me, not from opening but from falling off a shelve, was in laptop bag and when it hit the ground the back left bent the hinge popped bezel. But you know it still works
Who else here put tape on it.
I did lol
I did lol
I just did
Got mine fixed 😎
I did lol
My HP envy 13.3 hinge started to crack when opening and closing. It started not long after the warranty ran out! Apparently it's a common issue with the HP range.
Does anything like this happen to MacBooks, be it the air or the pro, like in the new ones? or they don't even have the concept of gluing hinges with the top lid?
I would like to know.
I think I have probably had to buy five Acer Chromebooks over the last 4 years because the hinges always ALWAYS break,it drives me mad,but I have just bought the Acer Chromebook 315 and the hinge goes all the way across from left to right (kind of what is known as a "Piano Hinge" like the long hinge on a piano keyboard cover) so I pray Acer have had so many complaints about their usual feeble one Inch hinges breaking they have addressed the issue seriously!
@@iTUROmo Only two years old,and all the previous Acer laptop hinges broke too.
How much do you charge usually?
Just happened with my Dell 3521. I always open it in the middle and it's never left my desk. I bought it just over a year ago. Serious lack of quality control by Dell.
same here. will never buy a dell again.
Same here. First n last buy dell. Bought asus n toshiba before n never had hinge problem. I handle dell laptop very delicate. Open from centre slowly but still happen
How long should I expect the repairing process to take? The frame in the lower part of my laptop is almost completely broken now but luckily, the screen is fine
My Engineer Dad said, 'stress' broke it.
My ASUSTeK Q504UAK hinges are breaking the screen.. Held together with binder clips now.
Thank you very much for sharing it😭😭
Hi that silver middle part of my computer fell out and I want to know what it's called I have a HP laptop and want to know if I can buy a replacement
I appreciate you video, know I know what the hell is going on, thank you very much
Just had this happen to me with my Dell laptop.
This just happened to me tonight I could just cry 😢😢😢
How to fix this
Thanks
Happens to me every time. A drive fails, battery, something. I take the back cover screws off. Eventually the cheap threaded inserts break. The cover doesn't screw on right. everything gets loose, the hinges fail, and I buy new laptop. If those cheap threaded inserts that held the back cover didn't continue to fail my laptops would never break
I’ve fixed alot like that too
I need a lid, screen, hinges, & bezel. Where can I get parts? Do the the screen supports come with the screen? TIA
Dell Inspiron
Same thing happened to my msi gs75 stealth laptop an I was opening from sides but the plastic screen part that the metal hinge screws into broke but it's 3 or 4 years old. Think the plastic just failed. WHT can't they make it a thin metal instead of plastic 😢
This happened on my HP. So I got a new Dell and it happened within months. I am leaving the laptop open now with a dishcloth cover. But I need to know which laptop to get that will not come apart. It's ridiculous.
Hey, what's the model?
planned obsolescence...
Well said. My asus vivobook's hinge failed after 3 years, never had any bumps nor any falls. After a bit of searching I found the culprit has always been the left hinge, smart move by asus by putting the exhaust facing it. My acer from 2012 (it's dead now) still have strong hinges.
Hmm: thank you. Very informative; my top is blown on one side of my Acer Thin;
My hp laptop is also like that. it happened 4 yrs ago and today i try to use it and miracleee its working fine even tho the side of the screen is opened.
I have faced this problem with my new laptop.. warranty is applicable or not?
where are you located at? it happened to my laptop too, its a Dell. im very worried its not gonna be fixable. i have a Dell Inspiron 15 3000, do you know anything about them? the Bezel is what broke off
my Lenovo laptop cover is just hanging by two wires. Can I cut them and use it as a desktop? The plastic around the hinges is gone
Can anyone tell how much it takes to repair in this situation even though my one is in warrenty period
I better be careful with the HP laptop that I bought back in April of 2021. HP 15, AMD Ryzen 3 3250U, 4GB SDRAM, 1TB HDD + 128GB SSD. Screen is awful but is an OK unit for minimal random use. Price was high.
How much did you pay
@@ad1854 $349.00
What was the model?
I've had many laptops over the years and it never fails, the hinges go bad and I end up with a cracked cover and I always told the manufacturer that they need to fix the problem but they never do. I don't think they can come up with a solution.
They can and they have the money to come up with a solution but they just don't want to. Though expensive, Apple's Macbook hinges don't break
how much is it to fix in uk pounds
Exactly what's happening to my ACER ASPIRE 5 SLIM. I've had it for 2 years, bought it with my covid check, and just seen that the lid and hinge are bending apart. And I see where the screw that's supposedly glued to the lid is detached from :/ was hoping to find a vid on if you could glue it to extend it's life. Doesnt seem like super glue will be enough. dk what to do use jb weld and never open and close it again unless i have to.
Bro having the same issue .. what did u do ??
@@ayushgaming2629 Yo I just never open and close it and praying It doesnt get worse where it's unusable. But If it does get worse then I guess Ill have to try hooking it up thru HDMI to my tv and using it that way if worse comes to worse 😥🙏😑
@@ayushgaming2629 I think I might just buy a mini C-Clamp and clamp it on the bottom corner of my screen. Just gotta not move it at all cause if it falls the c clamp will probably bust the screen.
@@redmakerr trying the method of not closing it now .. will use c clamp to if it gets too worse
@@redmakerr and if it gets too much out of hand .. then I will buy a 2nd hand monitor and connect using HDMI
Why this hinges broke ??? please can any one explain.i'm suffering with this problem and is it affect the laptop working . please can anyone help with the reply 😭🙏😭😭
When you open your laptop holding from one side. PREVENTION: Always open from center.👍
There is no Asus brand mentioned here. I've been using my Asus for almost 10 years and never got any hinges issues
My 3rd Lenovo has broken. The bottom cover is very cracked on both sides. Sucks.
Hi can u pls show a tut(tutorial)/video on how to fix a broken laptop hinges? since my dads laptop got broken bc of my little sister
Does anyone know how much do they charge to fix it in rupees
This happened to my Lenovo after 6 months. 😂 Started hearing some cracking sounds from the left hinge, and after a while the hinge started disintegrating. *sigh*
Same problem here can you help me what do?
Literally dealing with this now with a $1200 dell laptop that is only 2 years old…
I used some super glue lmao good as new
At what time stamp does he state how this happens?! I skipped through but didn't find it. I assume opening from one side because at one point he asked whic way we open laptops.
My lenovo hinges just broke, now my screen is cracked 😔
I understand your pain (currently in that same situation)
Same here. That's not worth a buy.
Same 😢
samee 😭😭😭 did you all fixed it?
@@stancastan thanks for replying! I just got home from the repair shop and in my case, the right hinge broke but the unit is alright. The repair is so pricey so I took it home. Could you update me if you repair it successfully?
im having a a panic attack rn yall
same…
How much it cost for repair
Can anyone tell how to fix it...
this happened to me today and it opens a bit down when i open my laptop
Anyone any idea of how much it would cost??
I paid $1,800 for my laptop, and already the 2 hinges in the back of the lid are exposed. I brought it from Best Buy, and I'm worrying that if I take it back, can or will they fix it for a small fee.
Im scared this finna happen if open my laptop all the way what do i do to not break it
this is easy fix idk why so much drama about it
Mine is 3 to 4 years old but still brand new... I need to fix it instead or dropping $600 on a new one.
I am using my Lenovo with a broken hinge and the screen area on the left side coming apart....ugh so frustrating
Did you got it repaired? If yes....how much did you spent on it??
So whats the solution? Just avoid using the tablet mode
And always open from centet?
Mines barely 18 months old...
Bruh mine one Got Ruined in 3 months within buying
Do we still use the laptop if the hinge breaks off on one side
Yes you can if you wish to cause more damage to it!
@@sushilmhetre8625 lol just don't close the laptop and you won't do any damage to it. After all, it's just the hinge (to allow for closing and opening just like a door)
this is literally my laptop and I am currently sitting with a broken frame ._. the acer one in the opening btw
I always open from the center, and believe I’m pretty gentle with my computer, but this issue came out of nowhere with no warning for me. Anyone else have that same experience?
my lenvono laptop still is good but its cracking at the bottom outline of the screen and somewhere i dont know how to desribe so im scard but im a side opener and its spliting at the side that i open at so im going to start open from the center also i dont have money as i ask my parents to buy stuff (i do earn money every now and the but not alot) so i cant buy a repear
my grammering is bad
I have a Chromebook that’s doing this, and idk where to take it to get it fixed :(
I have an HP Chromebook that I just bought last November...and it looks like the hinge is already starting to crack on the right side...unless it was a manufacturing issue. Can't prove that yet. I'm hoping it breaks before the warranty. Unfortunately, I was told it's cheaper to buy a new Chromebook than to get it repaired. :(
Hmm maybe thats the reason my right hinge is loose now on my acer aspire laptop.
How much would something like this cost to fix?
15$
My laptop is less than a year old and this happened to it last night. I have so much school work to do so idk how imma get it done wit a broken laptop💔 and my screen cracked at the bottom
You can request for warranty and they may help you.try ones bruhhh!!
My laptop is stuck open! Such a nightmare.
Thanks.
This happened to me like 2 or 3 times ugh
were you located, I have the same problem with my HP laptop. I want to fixit.
pro like me ???
Sigh. This just happened to my laptop. Managed to get it opened tho & its still working. Ill just never close it again!!
Looking at that 2 hinge design in and Im not surprised it breaks. Im no designer etc but shouldnt the whole bottom of it be one big hinge so it spreads the continuous opening and shutting of the laptop out across the entire bottom of the screen? or shouldnt there at least be a third hinge in the centre to help the 2 on the sides?.... Meh, I bet they design these things to break after a few yrs so people have to buy new ones. Anyway good explanation of what happened. Thanks for the upload.
Is it possible to fix this right again?
Pls do replyy
Mines broken too 😢
Definitely what im sure is dell is not a good laptop brand. Bought asus, toshiba before never have this hinge problem
This just happened to my Lenovo and idk what to do😞 anyone know how much to fix?
What model of Lenovo?
This happened with me after 7 days of purchase, the hinges and bezels are made up of cheap plastic build (Lenovo ideapad 1)
