Great video!. I found this Asus model at my local thrift shop for $60.00 in its box. Mint condition, and all it needed was a new battery. I used your video to help me replace the battery. Thanks.
Awesome, glad it helped. If you haven't already, please like and subscribe so others can find my videos and possibly consider watching a few others and commenting to get the algorithm to recommend my channel. Thanks!
Thank you so much! I was super nervous about busting open my laptop and messing with the cables inside but I was able to do it by following your video. I was able to replace the hinge without any issues. I don't know if your audience is usually people who have messed with laptops before, but I did have to look for other videos in figure out how to properly remove the ribbon cables (I know you tried to explain and show this but it was difficult to figure out what I needed to do exactly). But I was able to fix it without breaking a different part of the laptop so thanks!!
Thank you for your video! I had two broken hinges for this past year and everywhere I asked were quoting high rates to fix it. I decided to order replacement hinges and attempt it on my own. It took a lot of patience but I managed to fix both hinges and now my screen no longer falls down.

The same case. Two hinges cracked. I wasn't sure how to separate top and bottom after all screws unscrewed. I did not want to break something. The video immediately cut all doubts, but im my case I had to push a credit card all around the case to separate top an bottom.
@@tomeks666 I definitely had issues separating the two as well. I think I might have knocked something off, because although I've managed to fix the hinges, my keyboard is a bit messed up now as well as the trackpad 😅 If it's not one thing, it's another.
Glad it helped and you appreciate the complete walkthrough. If you haven't already, don't forget to like and subscribe so others can find my videos. Thanks!
Truly helpful video, perfect pacing and commentary, so thank you! You have some interesting comments, such as holding down the power button AFTER disconnecting the battery to discharge any remaining voltage--wouldn't have thought of that, so smart. Also love that you just use your fingernails, instead of the usual guitar pick-like tool that most people use. Yeah, I have tough fingernails too, and use them also for slitting cardboard boxes for recycling, as an example. Yeah, REAL men use their FINGERNAILS!! LOL! But yeah, this machine, that my wife likes so much since she used to have an Air. The hinges broke on it shortly after warranty expiration. Asus charged us like $250 to repair it, which was more than half of what we paid for the new machine. I tried to argue that it was a manufacturing defect, and they said, "No, our hinges have been tested for (like) 50,00 revolutions and have no problem". Afterwards, the OTHER hinge broke, and we purchased another of the same model on *bay. Eventually, yes, same thing. So we are really unimpressed with that make. Perhaps the problem is really, as you point out, with the SCREWS, and not the hinges as such. The new equivalent to this machine is no longer made of metal, as far as I can tell. But now I managed to cannibalize the remaining hinge from one machine to transfer to the other, and along with another new hinge, it seems just hunky-dory, so, again, thanks for your terrific video! It''s nice to be able to re-vive and recycle an older, perfectly usable machine.
Haha yeah, fingernails are very useful. I don't understand why people are so against them... As for the hinges, a lot of times it's the hinge mounts that break. I usually replace the broken screw mounts and screws with jbweld, but it takes a lot of skill to fix and know what you're doing so you don't make things worse, so I don't show those types of repairs. Anyway, glad my video helped. If you haven't already, please like and subscribe. It'll really help me out. Thanks for watching!
Hi excellent video, thanks for taking the time to make the video, appreciated. My Hinge broke, on the right side. Is is as easy as just unscrewing the old hinge & rescrewing the new hinge on or is there anything special I need to look out for when removing & replacing the hinge besides the little cable that you spoke about Thanks Rick
I just disassemble this computer to set it in a 1 TB SSD. Although it was successful, God damn it was the hardest PC I have ever worked with it. By just this experience I am going to keep myself far away from Asus computers. Bad hinges and totally impossible to disassemble. A bunch of morons has designed and built this computer. I have never seen so bad build-up of the components, and I had disassembled a few computers, and no doubt about it, this is the worst. I want to give you a huuuge internet hug for an awesome tutorial. You deserve my like and subscribe card. Thanks, pal.
Awesome, glad it helped! I have videos of so many models. You can look at the designs before buying. :P Thanks for liking and subscribing. It really helps!
@@ItsBinhRepaired Just to inform you, it was my sister's PC. I had a water incident with my old computer and had to insert my old SATA SSD in her computer as my own only accept the new PCI system. I would never buy a computer that is that hard to disassemble. Again thank you. I have another question that you may know the answer to. I have just bought the Lenovo 14s yoga and in their manual sheet, it says you can only set in a second SSD that is up 1 TB. Does that mean if I insert a 2 TB SSD the BIOS won't accept it? Have you tried something that the manufacturers don't approve of? :)
Thanks for this vid. My wife has this tablet/notebook and dropped it recently, wrecking the right hinge. Thanks to your vid, I was able to re-install the new one easily. Also I'm looking at 1TB M.2 drives now as that seems very easy to upgrade. what was not easy is getting my large hands to put the keyboard and power ribbons back in place, but I was able to after a bit of a struggle. Thanks again for making this video.
Thank you a lot for the video! I was able to replace my hinges :) However I ran into some other problems... some letters on the keyboard won’t work anymore and my laptop won’t power on unless plugged in. Any advice? Thanks once again!
After disassembling this pc twice, where the heck is the fan? Does the PC have no fans? That is really strange. Now it makes sense why it does not have any grill for the exhaustion of heat and it can not run many tabs at the same time. The more I have this PC, the more I am astonished why it cost $ 1250.
Hi, do you know what the little metal tape-like stuff that is glued to the hinge inside the display compartment is? It's also attached to a little folded up "pillow" of the same material that is glued to the inner wall of the metal cover of the display. It needs to be taken off, I guess and then reattached during the hinge replacement. Is it part of the touchscreen functionality perhaps?
Thank s for the video. Both my hinges have locked, so I can no longer fold the screen over. Is it possible to repair the hinges or better to get a new/used pair? Also my touchpad mouse is not responsive, I can not find the exact same ribbon (AWM 20696 80c 30v) . But I have found AWM 20624 60v, is a suitable replacement? Thanks
So I trried to be Macgyver and replace a broken hinge, that worked! but now I'm stuck with a non functioning touch pad. Whatever I did I wasn't able to put the little white su*ker back into the connector. Opened the latch as you said but it hardly goes in a mm and doesn't hold. Any tips? Thank you!
I have error blue screen in this model Probably in ssd hard In baios Sometimes he reads the hard drive and sometimes he doesn't read. Is the problem in the hard drive? Blue screen
@@ItsBinhRepaired Just found out, it doesn’t, the CMOS battery is somewhere on the Logic Board (probably soldered). One question, my CPU temperature goes to about 85 Celsius on normal use, is this normal? I replaced the thermal paste on the board and it didn’t *really* help. Worth to mention is that I‘m using only the board without any housing! Thanks for your answer.
@@sam_ed the housing helps with the air flow. Imagine being in a room with a fan on, but the fan is just facing the door. That's essentially what's going on.
Hey, do you know what makes a laptop turn off? I checked motherboard and nothing was bad. So im asking do you anything that makes a laptop turn off like cpu thermal paste or something? Edit: headsup my laptop aint receiving power either. So what part is making this happen?
