Repair Hanger on Sony WH1000-XM5

[@blzt3206]

No way what’s up dude?! I once used JB weld to stop a coolant leak while I was broken down in the mountains. Worked like a charm.

Hope it's a good bond, metal to plastic

The king is back!

Exact same issue with mine. I've had mine for about 7 months, bought brand new from BB. Sony repair wants $90 (flat fee) + $20 (shipping back) + $Parts to repair something I've had for about 7months of normal usage. Trying this because it looks like it works great

Have you tried this method? If so, how is it holding up?

[@willclarkfinancial]

@ChristianQuilantang-ef3mp yeah actually. They're my wife's headphones and she's super rough on tech. It's held up beautifully

[@ChristianQuilantang-ef3mp]

@ Good to hear that it’s holding up. Did u use the same epoxy shown in this video? And the hinge still rotates like normal?

[@willclarkfinancial]

@ChristianQuilantang-ef3mp No, I went to my local harbor freight and bought a quick setting 2-in-1 epoxy syringe. I shot it into the hinge, spread it with the included wood stick and held it together. Once it started to harden up some I then kept twisting the hinge back and forth so that it did not stick in one direction. After that, I believe I let them sit for 24 hours without touching so that the epoxy completely hardened. That seemed to be enough and they're still used pretty roughly to this day.

When it came to scraping down the inside, did you do the same as the video, or did you modify it? Mine had popped off after 7 months of use, and nowhere can fix it for less than $200 dollars

[@ChristianQuilantang-ef3mp]

How is it holding up after repairing it?

[@JoeJoe-rz7ut]

When I am trying to do it I look inside and there’s two rings of plastic which one does I scape down

[@JoeJoe-rz7ut]

Can you show where in the swivel to scrape
