How to Fix Broken Laptop Hinge




Hello guys!!

I will show you “HOW TO FIX BROKEN LAPTOP HINGE”

In this case, It happened on a TOSHIBA C800 laptop where the hinge are pretty bad damaged, the casing has cracked and the part where the hinge sit starting to loose.

As you can see this is the condition before i fix it, the base & bottom case are badly damaged till the jack power comes up looks like on the photo.

And now i will show you how to fix broken laptop hinge step by step.

First thing first, prepare the tool. You will need..


  • Tweezers
  • Screwdriver
  • Pliers
  • Cutter Knife
  • Old Case
  • Strong Glue (i’m using Korean brand G Glue)
  • Baking Soda


Step 1: We Need to Disassemble the Laptop



We need to disassemble the laptop,
and make sure you remove the laptop battery first before you continue to disassemble your laptop completely. Put all of the parts on a one place.

*For example, i’m putting all of the part on a one container. So i won’t miss placed any parts.

Then, take off all of the parts until you find the part that will be repaired. That is the hinge..

As you can see the broken hinge as shown on the photo. The yellow/gold thing is where the hinge screws stands and the one is the part where the laptop hinge sit in the bottom casing.


Step 2: Position the Brass and Screws on It's Base


There are some things you must pay attention to

The position of the screws holder (brass) must be straight as shown
Place the screw on the brass, to prevent the baking soda and glue covering the hole
Placing the screw on the brass is to make it easier to hold with tweezers
Do it carefully and adjust the brass to it’s base before the gluing process


Step 3: Let’s Began to Sprinkle the Baking Soda Around the Brass


Sprinkle the baking soda around the brass little by little and periodically followed by glue until the powder mound and glue are formed just like on the photos.

Wait up to 1 hour until it dries and hardens.


Step 4: Take Off the Screws

After the glue are hardens, take off the screws from the brass.
See? This is why i told you to put the screws on it’s place, to prevent the glue from covering the brass.


Step 5: Trim the Surface


Next we need to trim the surface so that it is evenly aligned and can be placed by its hinges

We gonna use Cutter Knife to trim the surface, level the height with the brass installed. Once again make sure it’s evenly aligned. Because, it can affect when we reassemble the case later.


Step 6: Loosen the Hinge a Bit

After it looks neat, start to reassemble the laptop hinge carefully according to the instructions

And there’s one more thing you need to do

You must be loosen the hinge a bit, just a bit. To make it lighter on the hinge,

You can use Pliers for this process.


Step 7: Finally!

After the hinge is perfectly attached to it's base and it works fine, then it's time to rebuild the laptop

How to learn the SMD 6 Pins Power IC  Lots of the new LED TV and Monitor is using the SMD 6 pins Power Supply IC. This Power IC size is small like a normal SMD transistor! Sometime we can't find where this power IC location. But sure that for the season repairer they will knew that is power IC. But that's not mean they know what's their power IC part number! So It is important to learn this information when repair the latest LCD & LED TV or monitor. Below is the location of power IC (U7001) for Sharp LC-32LE340M LED TV:  The Power IC body size looks like smaller than the SMD zener diode Z7007! This power IC marking code is IDP-606, did you guess what's the IC part number is? The answer is........ => R7731AGE ! Below is the proof: We must refer to their product specification manual to confirm that this 6 pins Power IC IDP is a R7731A. Other 6 pins power supply SMD IC: 1) OB2263 = 63xxx                ...
