Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 15ITL05 Disassembly Quick Look Inside LCD Screen Replacement Hinge Repair

[@barsik1923]

Thanks!, that was helpful, I don't understand why Lenovo and other companies doesn't make their laptops in a better way :(

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

Glad it helped. Thanks for the support! They do it because they want people to send it in or to buy new ones.

[@kamonig]

Thank you for making such a good video. My model has the same problem. I have watched many clips on KZbin. This clip presents it in great detail and provides easy-to-understand instructions. Another problem with this model is that the hinges are stiff and need to be adjusted.

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

Don't adjust the hinges. They're designed that way to hold the screen up. If you loosen them it'll flop over when moving around. The reason they feel so stiff is because the lack of leverage with the narrow hinges.

[@coryscomputerrepair]

Thank you for your detailed video, had one of these, a little intimidating but your video helped me get through it. Especially the ribbon cables. One thing to mention is some replacement screens come with the touch screen digitizer controller, so you really only need to disconnect the single touch screen display cable on the right hand side and the display ribbon cable on the back side. Then you can leave the two brown colored ribbon cables connected to the old digitizer and simply pull out the monitor and old digitizer and set aside and install the new digitizer and lcd screen.

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

Glad it helped. Yeah, some have the digitizer controller there. If you haven't already, please like and subscribe so others can find my videos and possibly consider watching a few others to get the algorithm to recommend my channel. Thanks!

[@the-mush]

nice video! very clever application of the JB weld with those tapes and plastic wraps!

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

Thanks for the support! Glad you liked the video. I've been getting a lot of these breaks on these models lately. :( Very bad design.

[@the-mush]

so it seems! I've received one broken on the same side, thankfully the screen hasn't broke yet, just found a slight discoloration on the corner and a slight popout from the plastic cover. Can´t believe that part of the hinge you glued is made of plastic, bad lenovo...

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

@the-mush it's a very common material choice. It's not so much the material that's the problem, but them trying to keep the bezel so thin that makes the hinge too narrow to support it.

[@domonas]

Jist had to replace the hinge and casing for the monitor. Your video helped a ton! I hate the touchscreen connection ..i cant get jt to work right...but everything else works fine. Thank you!

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

@@domonas awesome, glad you were able to fix it. Sometimes the computer needs a restart after the swap.

[@andrewcavanaugh7318]

Comment and a question here: 1. you should be able to disable the battery from the BIOS, it will disconnect it and automatically reconnect when you plug in AC power (might need external screen if you are like me) 2. I think I have a flex break, but my camera, mics, digitizer all work, but the screen is completely blank, doesn't show up in device manager, no display or backlight on BIOS splash screen etc. etc. etc. Do you think I just need a new panel? Will this come with a cable? Is there a trick to unplugging that big LVDS connector? Thanks!

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

Thanks for the support! If you disconnect the lvds cable you need to remove the batteries and hold the power button 15 seconds or you can fry the cable, screen, and/or the backlight circuit on the motherboard. If you're lucky it could be a loose connection to the screen or logicboard.

Cool

[@aceone011]

Nice video! How well does JB Weld hold the plastic, how long can I expect it to hold it in place, a couple years or less? Thanks.

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

If you do it right, forever. Lol

[@ali99_82]

Thank you for the insight, I observe that in your case the hinge had issue on the screen / upper part of the laptop, what if the hinge broke from the bottom / keyboard deck area of the laptop like in my case? Would I ever be able to use it in 360 mode if professionally repaired?

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

If you do the jbweld repair right, it should still go 360

[@muwak666]

Thanks a lot, that was EXACTLY what i needed. One Question: Should i disconnect the battery to detach the digitizer cables? Don't want to mess with the board if its not necessary.

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

Yes

[@CindySorenson-r4m]

IMO, JB Weld isn't good enough to be considered an appropriate repair method for high-friction environments such as the one your hinges are exposed to daily by opening & closing the lid. In another 6 months to a year it'll most likely break again. To do it right it would of only cost you under $75.00 extra in parts.

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

Friction? There is no friction. It holds it in place. I've repaired hundreds this way.

This morning my left hinge was poped out when i flip it. But fortunately lucky me the screen is fine 🥺. Then I tried to remove the screen bring the hinge back on. Turnout the left side is broken, but i dont have jb weld, but used the epoxy resin. Well it hold now. But i dont dare too flip it over 😭 its stay 90° i guess for now. I was contemplating to using thermal double tape to hold the screen coz the pieces left n right also broken. But then i can't take out the screen if i need to fix something. Thank you for the details explanation. I saw u didn't use any adhesive for the screen, so I'll leave mine like that ✨💜

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

Most other epoxies won't hold up.

[@Zyu의Haru]

@@ItsBinhRepaired it's comforting tho for the clarification 🥺 thanks 😭 But will it fix if i just replace the whole back body? Note that just middle screw holding the screen. left n right side are broken But I'm afraid might cut smth try to remove the camera part above and replacing the hinge part

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

@queenzui yeah, that would fix it, but a lot of pieces to remove, so it's more risky

[@marchela2002]

Epoxy didn't help on mine , probably gotta replace the whole frame 😔

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

@marchela2002 did you use jbweld? That's the only one that's strong enough

[@tejwindersingh1130]

Hey, My laptop hinges are very loose and they are not holding the screen in 90 degree position. How to tighten the hinges.

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

I'm not sure

[@yagamoo9272]

Hi, very helpful video first of all! Apologies in advance for all the questions as this offers a lot of great solutions, I'd just like to confirm if JB Weld is the best option for this, as it's quite expensive importing to my area, and whether it's recommended to apply to both sides, as you've done so, even if only one of the hinges has come free? I'd imagine that makes sense so that the force distributes evenly when it's ready to be opened again, but I'd just like to be sure. Also, would I be able to forgo replacing the adhesive pull tabs, on the off chance they're mangled when pulled out? Thank you in advance.

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

If you don't plan to ever replace the screen, yeah, no need to worry about the adhesive strips. Jbweld the original steel one is the best I've come across. Not sure if there's something better out there.

[@alexandreborges716]

Hi! Just finished the repair of the hinge of my laptop. I wasn't able to use JB Weld, same case as yours, it doesn't sell in my country. I used a generic epoxy glue that is sold in Brazil, it's called Araldite. Also tried others glues, none worked, just the epoxy one. Afterward, I add some adhesive tape pulling from the hinge to the screen housing. It worked really well. I don't think I will have problems with the hinge again. If I do, I think I will pierce the screen housing and use a screw nut to fix it to the hinge, this is the only permanent solution I can think about. I am I bit delayed, but I hope someone can make use of this comment, as I did of the video. Thank you, @ItsBinhRepaired!

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

Glad it helped. Hope it holds up well!

[@Zyu의Haru]

Hi would like an update how about ur jb weld replacement? I did mine with epoxy uv resin, read about jb weld also categories as epoxy, so i guess u can use alternative for it. But mind coz the uv version need to be illuminated with uv light. The epoxy resin one will be the best option but it need 24-48 hours to dry down and glued it in place

[@Zyu의Haru]

Can u flip it back again the hinge freely? Mine broken in the screw area and the back part like this video its a bit risky to open n close it 😢 ​@@alexandreborges716

[@pilote4903]

Hi, exactly what tipe of JB weld do you recomend? Any specific model?

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

The Original black and white kind.

[@CindySorenson-r4m]

Tip: You may discover that it's easier to disable the touchscreen from within the Windows environment via Control Panel/Device Manager/Human Interface Devices. Expand the Human Interface Devices section & disable the one in the list with 'Touchscreen' in its name, then reboot the laptop & it should be disabled moving forward.

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

That's how I usually do it, but if the screen is registering erratic touches, then it makes it near impossible.

Hi Binh, I have a 2015 MacBook Pro. The keyboard does not work. It’s not even detected I believe but the computer boots fine. The touchpad works fine. I’ve tried resetting everything but nothing seems to work. Do you think I’d have to replace the whole keyboard or would it maybe be just the connection?
