Hi everyone, thank you for 14:43 of your time. In this video I have done some repairs to Lenovo IdeaPad 330s. The laptop was dropped and little bit broken. But in this case the repair turns to be very cheap. I have done more tests to the case and still the case is fine. Anyway, I have used this repair method before and, yes, in some cases it will do a great job, but now always. Also I have done some upgrades as well, RAM and new SSD.

Very nice and clean repair, just a tip: you can loose a bit the nut of the hinges and put some oil in it. This will reduce the pressure of the hinges, avoiding the laptop case of breaking again.

@santisvander Год назад

Was just about to say that. Just loosening a little bit the hinges will go a long way

That trick with the baking soda and "super glue" is brilliant! I've used it before to reinforce screw mounts and fix cracks like in this video. A word of caution: During the chemical reaction that solidifies the baking soda, the area gets quite hot. So build the material up in layers if you need more thickness. Otherwise the prolonged heat from a thick glob might warp the part you are trying to fix. ;-]

@user-vlad385 Год назад

And then it's still fragile and will break again!Must apply Холодные сварки Poxipol

@rangerjoe126 Год назад

I think epoxy is a lot better and much more long term solution fix cause I've done the baking soda trick before because when I tried to open my laptop for cleaning the screw mounts came with a solidified baking soda and glue block XD it was a hassle to re-attached it again but when I tried to recreate the shape of the mount with the epoxy it never came out and stay solid up to this day

@patrickcardon1643 Год назад

I've been looking at using a heating gun with staples, as used on large plastic parts, to add structural strength to broken plastic computer parts. The baking soda or epoxy can then be added to cover it up and add more strength

@user-vlad385 Год назад

@@rangerjoe126 Agree with you

@robertcartier5088 Год назад

To answer some of you: Yes, of course epoxy is better, but it is also very thick and not easy to work with, for precision work. Unless you buy the really good stuff. In very tight spaces, and if applied properly, I found the superglue/baking-soda solution to be very efficient. Any good epoxy is way more expensive, particularly compared to what a hobbyist might already have at home. And since I believe these videos are aimed at hobbyists and not professionals, I consider this to be an important factor. But, again, for certain types of breaks, where we expect there to be structural stress, then yes, epoxy is better.

Always an inspiration Andrew. You inspired me to take up electronic restoration as a hobby a few years back so I could confidently restore my everyday laptop to like new condition. I've since gifted that laptop to my sis so she can use it for her business, and for a 2017 laptop it's still running perfectly for her and very speedy.

Oh shit that super glue and baking soda is crazy! I've never heard of it before. I had a laptop with a giant crack on the plastic near the hinge which I never was able to fix but had to painfully use for years. I asked so many people what I could do but no one had such a simple solution as Andrew's! Thanks dude you've thought me so much!

For large repairs such as cases, I use ground rice, mixed with the super glue. Greetings from Bogota, Colombia

Hello Andrew, sorry my English I am using a translator but great restoration as always I really love watching your videos of restorations or repairs of electronic devices in general they are very gratifying, but I would like to give you a little suggestion regarding the hinges of laptops and more when They are repairs in that area, it is recommended to loosen them a bit so that the plastic and the mechanism in general are less forced.

@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew Год назад

Hi bro, I do loosen a little bit later, but in video i didn't because to show that the repair can hold even with all normal

When guleing palmrests like that it is always a good idea to loosen the hinges a little bit. There is a nut on the enf of a hinge. Loosen it a little bit to compensate for the less strong palmrest after guleing. This will also prevent further cracks or degradation.

Nice refresh and repair on the cheap! I don't like soldered RAM as it limits upgrades, but I do like how you can have an M.2 SSD as well as a SATA SSD/HDD. Also, for best results when gaming, always use the charger, performance on battery power is almost always limited for better battery life, though gaming whilst on battery power will almost literally destroy both battery life and battery longevity.

@ksenofobov Год назад

For repair broken case like this you need EPO besides superglue. 1. You put fallen pieces back where they belong with super glue to hold their positions. 2. You surround these pieces with EPO to hold. Super glue stays too fragile and falls off again if used alone. Epo supports. 3. Very important thing is cleaning the hinge. I sometimes loosen it up a bit. Hinges collect dust and get tough, thats why the case starts to crack in first place.

Very nice and clean repair. I wonder if you could use a soldering iron to join the cracked plastic together, though? But that wouldn't be as clean, for sure

@umar2gud Год назад

Yeah and also it will break again easily as while using solderiron it will melt away some of material and make it more thin hence it will break apart more easily . Using soda/cigrate ash with glue make a really solid repair as long you know how to do it without having mess.

If you put some fine cloth over the superglue it will get muuuuch more solid than using only the glue. Make sure than all the joins are in contact with the cloth. Give it a try and you will be surprised.

The video was quite fun. But as far as I've heard, people usually recommend not to use Isopropyl Alcohol on the screen as it may damage the coating on top. Have you seen any cases of this?

@elfedorausado Год назад

1. You CAN use alcohol as long as it’s a one-time thing. It’s the continued use what damages the coating. 2. I believe he mixes the alcohol with anti-static glass cleaning fluid; that reduces the strength of the alcohol to a point where it’s not damaging the coating on the screen. I personally use a mix of 2 parts alcohol with 8 parts distilled water in a plastic spray bottle. I use it on my cellphone, TV screen and laptop monitor. So far, no issues.

Andrew, super glue baking soda method failed for me in under 2 months of use. May be just opened and closed the hinge 10 times max. Is epoxy better than super glue baking soda?? I had two 8 year old laptops with same issue. I was scared too use epoxy. Should i use it? What about the generated heat? Does epoxy create more heat than super glue??
