This also applies to other makes and models, but for this video we are showing on a Dell Inspiron E1505.

As always when working on computers, excerpt caution and pay attention to what your doing. I cannot be responsible for any damage. And if you have a warranty I recommend you just have it taken in rather than void it by doing something like this.

  • On My Acer i have to put something behind it from it shutting on my hands or going completly backwards should i still try to tighten screws or get all new hinges?

  • @TheKingslook That sounds like the hinges are done for.

  • I AM NOT TAKING ADVISE FROM A KID HELL NO

  • @EXCistionFTW134 Well you looked this video up because you didn't know how to do it, and me the so called "kid" does. I can care less if you take my advice or how to, just pay someone to do it because you don't know how when you could take my advice and get it done free.

    Oh society...

see all

  • "and uh just tighten those bad boys" lol

  • hey clubcar98, would this mvideo also apply to macbooks before i try anything, or do you have no idea?

    pre-emptive thanks :D

  • thanks for the video. The tip helped me in fixing the hinge issue with my HP laptop

  • This worked!!! I could kiss your feet, dude.

  • I have a HP Pavilion dv6 laptop and the hinges are a little loose and I can't find the screws, what should I do?

  • My R400 Lenovo is having this kind of issue; if put at an angle it slams shut. Should I try this method or is there another option?

  • Thank you for making such an informative video. It encouraged me to tighten up my Fujitsu Siemens Amilo D8820 which had the wobbly symptoms you describe. The scariest moment was dissassembling the bezel. By starting at the bottom, as you say, and pulling with finger nails under the inside edges, it eventually started to release. Then, continuing to work anti-clockwise, the whole bezel came away without breaking. All is back together now, and it feels just like new.

  • your 'U' tangent is gone! :D
