Laptop Hinge Hack: It Works!

[Titmowse]

The hinge on my kid's laptop basically disintegrated. Being the cheap mowse that I am, I wanted to fix it myself. After many duct-tape efforts, I was about to give up and order a replacement when I found this:

I tried it and it totally works! I used epoxy instead of gorilla glue but it seems to be hold just fine and if it comes off, I can always just glue it back on.

I am so happy! Wheee!

I would love to see you sitting in starbucks with one of those!

LOL. We'll see. The local bookstore/coffee shop sells Starbucks and we go there all the time.

Step 8- Notice the luxurious brassness? That's high class.

That's totally sweet, Tit!

If only I had known about this a few weeks ago when the hinge on my laptop killed itself!!

Heehee... but, I am still covered by warranty so I was able to send it in. However, next time I might need this, heh.

Hee hee. Yeah. I love that site, BTW - Instructables . Now I want to make a PC case out of an old Nintendo console!

Well, if you do ever need to do this fix and you can't find the hardware, this is the place I got my hinge from:
