Holiday time - The hinges are now the most common fault, right?

[@Truthall]

As a tech who has been in the industry for nearly 30 years..., i appreciate your video Sorin, I have used JB Weld etc and these have failed pretty quickly. I a lot of physical repairs, but the process you use with the hot glue works really well...the trick is the not the glue but how its applied...like everything, if the process is not done correctly it will probably not give the result you want, but i have found the extra heating step and heating up the metal etc really works...although in this case, i wouldve replaced the hinges and used glue on the bottom of the chassis, but there is a cost and time restriction to some repairs and i understand those reasons.

[@humamalrawi1276]

I checked your channel an hour ago to see if you downloaded something new and here you are, thank you for being there.

[@daz41262010]

excellent repair Sorin :) I love watching this kind of repair :) your genius comes through :)

[@iwanhaniyoto]

All HP and Lenovo low to mid laptop always ending with a broken hinge after 2-3 years of use. I have a friend with experienced skill to repair all laptop hinge problem, he using cyanoacrylate adhesive mixed with a powder, has a strong bond and perfect finishing.

[@Frank-Thoresen]

I never get any of my screen hinge repairs in return because I am drilling through the plastic and use 2.0 mm or 3.0 mm screws that I grind down the head and paint it for esthetic.

[@seckinseckin3919]

yes that way is most reliable and when you decide to open it back then it will not be an ass pain for you

[@PhoneRepairRO]

You can take out the screen. It has some glue strips on the left and right and on this model you can pull them from the bottom of the screen. They are like the ones under the battery in iPhone.

[@marcellipovsky8222]

And also instead of hot air, you can use Isopropyl alcohol to loosen up the front bezel. Takes a bit longer, but there is less stress/damage on the bezel.

[@Dgenr]

@@marcellipovsky8222 wouldn't liquid damage the LCD?

[@marcellipovsky8222]

@@Dgenr No, it is alcohol. It evaporates which does not leave any residue.

[@alkibtech]

Great work with fixing unfixable :) This is obviously the cheapest way to fix it. But usually the best way (more expensive) is to replace the parts (LCD cover - palm rest) especially if the laptop isn't that beat up. :D

[@artkel737]

You can use Isopropanol to losen the adhesive. 50 ml till 100ml should be enough. That's how I remove screens from the backcovers.

[@rfr653]

Good job mate.

[@malikkhan_01]

thank you very much for sharing.

[@gergoigaz9735]

I think most of the hinge breaks is because the main screw (nut) at the hinge is too tight.

[@MrRvdbeek]

Have a nice holidays

[@MrJavapiet]

You can take out te screen, with heat or there are pull strips behind it

[@jamesthomas2417]

Sorin did not need to put any traps on on the aerial . good fix

[@WallaceBeneway]

As a tech with just over 33 years of bench experience here in Upstate New York, I have used a product called J-B Weld Plastic Bonder to reattach hinges on literally hundreds of laptops,, particularly on HP X360 models... I have found that melted glue just doesn’t hold up...

[@ricardobaptista877]

What happens if you'll need to reopen again ? Is that plastic bonder reversable ?

[@seckinseckin3919]

yes when they decide to open again it will be an ass pain . what i do is drilling through the plastic and use 2.0 mm or 3.0 mm screws that I grind down the head and paint it for esthetic that is the most reliable way.

[@ManorZvi]

Sorin - I love to watch you working. When I see you working it look like so easy. I wonder about this fixing laptop - I did not saw a camera cable - someone probably cut it before you got the laptop - Am I right ?

[@tarek3006]

Hi there, no actually this is one of the models that got the camera cable wrapped with the screen cable at the bottom of the screen after the camera cable went around the screen or some other cases just flat cable under the screen.. But here you can see its around the screen... The wrap them together sometimes mayeb to strengthen the screen cable or just for better cable management... Anyway no worries it was not cut 😊 but nice attention.. Keep it up bro

[@ccc822007]

Stick the screens back on a heating pad or surface that screen should pop off you may have to use a flat pry tool or spudger but very little pressure should be used.

[@MilekaRobot]

Great as always!!!

[@2368rafa]

Hello Sorin, you are a crack also with these crafts with glue, thanks for your videos

[@irishguy200007]

What about heating the hinge first before pressing it into the glue?

[@marshall5650]

good job

[@irishguy200007]

I remember the first screen I ever took off in a repair centre, it was my very first screen, a p10 by samsung and after replacing the new bezel,I turned on the laptop only to be exposed to a dark patch all the way around the screen and the trainer looking at me :(. I never made that mistake again The toughest bezel I ever saw on a laptop with so much glue.

[@Lyrikeffects]

Bro i love your work,but I have a question,what can make a laptop to come on and off in seconds

[@SinsBird]

Bad power supply.

[@Lyrikeffects]

@Repair Wins Its like I used another dc jack port manually and another adapter of 19.5v but it uses a 19v and it has no RAM!!!!

[@kacpreusz9911]

I usually use epoxy but not a sandwich lie Sorin does with hot glue, i only stick the back side screw holes and it also lasts

[@irishguy200007]

Maybe these are older wifi networks that were picked up by the owner but since they may be miles out of range,it simply remembers and displays them??

[@Leomvb]

Hello! I have an HP Omen 15 AX-000N1P or something like that. The thing is... It was freezing and I sent it to repair. They finally gave me it back after almost 1 week and said the problem was its graphic chipset... They couldn't solve since HP discontinued this laptop. The thing is, I have it back here and I was wondering if there's actually something I could try to do?

[@orion310591RS]

"This is not Sorin dodgy thing" man, if something is "Sorin dodgy" there is smart reason for it :D

[@Mrsahel82]

Does anybody know where is Sorin's shop ?

[@MrRvdbeek]

Sorin you can take the screen out With alcohol injections. Did it ones and working jou must be careful but it works. Like taped batteries

[@B9NE]

It's better to use a heating pad with spudger or glue remover liquid that's non corrosive. Alcohol can sometimes eat at certain layers of screens.

[@MrRvdbeek]

@@B9NE glue remover it’s better instead off alcohol

[@gilbertwahlang8029]

Sorin if possible please do videos on desktop motherboards as well :)

[@kam_mil]

Have you tried epoxy glue? I did some hinge repairs with epoxy and it seems to hold well so far

[@theking5558]

Yeah, i used it too

[@Dgenr]

Which epoxy do you use? I've use some epoxy that break after awhile of use.

[@kam_mil]

@@Dgenr I started with some cheap off brand stuff from the supermarket, and that held up ok. I now use poxipol, a polish product, i don't know if you can get it outside of poland tho.

[@Dgenr]

@@kam_mil I'll do some research. Thanks

[@seckinseckin3919]

if you use epoxy then what will you do if you decide to open it again ?

[@ricardoferreira2811]

Hello Sorin, years ago you made a video about building a power supply, and you said if it were for you you would have a digital voltage meter and an analogue amps meter. Why an analogue amps meter? Thx

[@MEDZener]

Great job but why not use Hot-Glue-Gun to make it quick and clean

[@irishguy200007]

I bought a hot glue gun once and it was useless waiting for it to drip the hot glue only to find d it was hard by the time I got around to sticking the assembly together.

[@MilekaRobot]

Hot glue gun heat stick around 250 degree C, hot air station can heat at 500 degree C and that is the reason, more temperature = more bond with plastic ;)

[@asadlito3485]

What is the glue stick name ?

Poxipol Sorin, it will be much better then hot glue. Get romanian Poxipol and the hinges will be fused to metal frames and plastics.

Hey Sorin, An idea for your channel. Once month. You take on a challenge from a viewer to repair something they couldn't. It gets shipped to you and if you fix you keep or sell for yourself. If you can't fix you wear a chicken suit for a day at work.

[@eugrafcmg]

This is a repair school not tik tok challenge chanel. Must admit would be entertained :)

[@Frank55]

This is not a 'Sorin dodgy thing'. 🙂

[@eyelon2216]

use epoxy glue

[@nalk20]

The screen on these HP laptops are usualy taped to the back much like the batteries in Iphones. You just have to locate the pull tabs. I did that on an HP Pavilion 14 bf model last year. It was not that difficult. ( I'm the designated board shifter among my family and friends and not a pro, like you ) About the hot glue hinge repair, you'd better hope we get global warming under control. 😜

[@danilopereirar]

best way to fix is using epox glue
