    Laptops Broken hinges .

    I know it's better to replace the broken hinges with new ones , but sometimes they aren't available or too much expensive , beyond reasonable .

    What are your best ways to fix'em ? ... welder ? chemical resine ? or ...?

    Re: Laptops Broken hinges .

    In my 15+ years of experience fixing up laptops, the best thing to do is to replace the hinges with new or second hand ones. Repairs rarely last very long, there is a great deal of stress put on the hinges when opening and closing the lid.

      Yah, its true, sometime, can't find copy, used or original hinges.Than i have an idea.
      I bought (teeth gum), its kind of chemical that used for making and fixing new teeth in mouth. (detail technician know better).
      I used this formula on verities of laptop( broken bodies, hinges and verities of things).
      no complain found. its Powerful gum in the world. i found that.

        Yes it's true , but what if the item is NA ? , Sony for example , announced that it will stop PC business and Vaio spare parts could become rare ..

        What can you say to a customer ? ...

            Is it possible bridging tiny broken trace
            by chth96
            When I assembled dreamcast I mistakenly fastened long bolt and It resulted in
            cutting tiny trace.
            This tiny trace(Total width of white coating is 5.5mm) is between R337,R343 and IC101 and it is covered with white coating in the below screenshot.


            Firstly I tried to bridging tiny broken trace with my own eyes...But it is totally impossible..So a week ago, I ordered G1200 Digital Microscope and I magnified this tiny broken trace with it.

            But It seems that It is really very tiny trace So I plan to order 0.1mm coper wire from aliexpress in order to bridging...

            Anyone else been having problems with chinese laptops using ESSX8336 / ES8336 audio?
            by NanoTesting
            This audio chipset has been a pain to deal with, most of the time its impossible to find drivers for chinese laptops that have no name/brand, or generic rebranded laptops.
            Huawei also started to use it BUT they no longer host drivers on their website since they want you to force their PC manager app that often refuses to install after bios flashing and apparently the generic drivers around wont work on some intel systems and others wont work on amd systems, the generic ones have worked only once and i think i have had this problem on 30+ laptops so far in the last year.

            Aorus 17G YD laptop, broken display, could not switch to external monitor
            by ArchangelGabriel
            Hello guys! I need a little help, I have one laptop for repair, it is an Aorus 17G YD, gaming laptop. Broken display, some cable ripped form daughter board connector, case broken, battery discharged and probably locked, etc. After I did the most tedious job I ever did on soldering back the broken cables (shielded cable) , I measured resistance on CPU and GPU core, 3 and 5 v ps and any coils I find on the board, everything seems to be fine. After I plugged the charger I don't get the power led light on from the charger connection maybe because the battery is locked , but on power button I have

            Resonator - quartz broken - how to find the same (same frequency) ?
            by corrize
            Hello, I have a Fujifilm hybrid camera with an issue : the time don't run. I set 12:00 and 3 min later, the same : 12:00
            I saw an obvious root cause : a broken quartz (resonator). But with the box broken, I can't read the marking code. Probably : 464… or A64…
            I found on the web a picture of the same camera board but with marking code very different. Probably : A7…5N
            I'm searching another one for compare…
            Do you have an idea or another way for find the frequency of this resonator please ?
            (I did not found the manufacturer of this component ? And I did not found the...

            Lenovo Yoga 710 15ISK, 80U00002US battery cable wire broken.
            by emeskay
            We have an Lenovo Yoga 710 15ISK that we use as a secondary laptop. To cut a long story short, around May 2023, while traveling, I connected the laptop into an electrical outlet that was already switched on. Something made a "pfft" sound and the laptop refused to turn on after that. After getting back home, I gave the the laptop for repair to an informal repair person. He replaced the adapter and an internal motherboard part, but after he returned it I noticed that the LCD did not look normal. Essentially, every alternate horizontal line on the screen had gone missing. The laptop was...
