Dell Inspiron 15 3000 Hinge Repairs - LFC 

like threadlocker?

He said it in a previous video: It ain't a good job if you don't have some screws left.

They always go mad with screws, the bottom case screws are the important ones lol.

@@zx8401ztv hinge screws most important!

Yea I want to try this some time. I think the amount of effort involved isn't worth it - but for some laptops where the parts just aren't economical, it'd totally be worth a try.

@@Adamant_IT Effort? Is faster than disassemble the laptop itself. And the cost is near zero. Plus is faster than wait for parts to be delivered.

Search RU-vid for "adamant it LBC#" (let's build computers) for videos where he builds computers.

Absolutely.

Yea, I've sold quite a few of these, I've been lucky so far, but I'm glad the model's been updated now.

Fixed - cheers!

Jeez, every electronics video I watch from different channels, there you are in the comments!

Now way! This is with the new stools! I guess there's always going to be _some_ noise. No chair is silent. Or at least, not when you use a condenser mic with the gain whacked up to full like I do.

@@Adamant_IT My bad 😨 I thought I heard the creaks when you sat down 😂😂😂🇬🇧

It's certainly do-able. As are other bodge-fixes like su-gru. I haven't really tested them much myself though.

@@Adamant_IT haven't used su-gru for anything so I'm not sure how well it holds. The reason I keep thinking of a bolt is because you can mitigate a lot of plastic damage or just give the hinge more surface area to pull against by adding a washer to the mix. Sadly or interestingly, both laptops I've had this happen on are cheaper Acer models, though I've seen it in others.

@@Adamant_IT That's great just what I needed to know.

Nope. Never seen windows cleaner damage a screen, unless the screen has an already-damaged anti-glare coat. These anti-glare coats are visible as a purple sheen. They're pretty rare though, except for Apple laptops, which have a reasonably tough anti-glare that also stands up to window cleaner.

Soft fabric. Basically a mouse mat. Gives you a firm surface, but soft enough not to scratch up what you're working on. It's not heat resistant, but that doesn't matter, the mat is expendable.

I want to get into GPU repair, but I'm not ready yet. I plan to start investigating in the new year.

Yea that connects under the keyboard.

Not unless there were issues with the battery.

I think he said in another video that he uses a Logitech C920.

Main cam is a Logitech BRIO. Face cam is a C920 though, which is the cam I started off with. Been around for years and still one of the best webcams. Prices are stupid high though right now.

Thank you!!!!

Probably, but honestly I have better things to do than haggle for a tenner refund.

Glass cleaner is basically water and vinegar, so same thing really.

I'm trying not to turn on the heating before December 😅

I'll be very surprised if it won't take 16GB of RAM, but I couldn't tell you for sure. Screen wise, yea so long as you have the right display cable as well, you'll be good.

@@Adamant_IT thanks for the reply king i will find the right cable

I get most of my stuff from eBay. Sometimes Aliexpress, but only if I have to, as delivery times are slow.

@@Adamant_IT thanks. I'm looking for the same part you have, but having trouble finding it. Can you help? A link of some sort?

Couple of old laptops. LCDs haven't changed in a while, there's a 40pin connector and a 30pin connector. Get two old laptops, one with each type, and plug your LCDs in to test. Modern ones (like in this video) don't have a frame, slightly older ones have a silver frame around them. Framed LCDs are only good for old laptops, it's up to you if you want to keep those. Pre-30/40pin connectors are the old CCFL backlit screens, identifiable by having an inverter at the bottom going to a two-wire backlight cable. Chuck these out they're not worth keeping.
