After a few good hundred (50000) with a Dell) or so rotations, your lid on your notebook/laptop will begin to wiggle and wobble because your hinge begins to loosen. Here is how you can keep it feeling new!

Waaaayyyyy too many usless/pointless steps. If you have something like a e1505, just take off the little cushion things off, unscrew all the screws behind them. Use a little flathead or nail and pry it off. On the bottom you would see the hinge tighten them. Then you take off the panel where your power button is at. You would see a indent where to pry it out on the right. After that you would see the remaining 2 screw to tighten for the hinge. After you tighten them just put it back together….

Thank you very much good job its nice to know extras like non specific witch can make things more complicated to label screws

judgementIV

i suppose a xps m 1710 is valid for this tut ? they look the same anyways

Thank you for taking your time to do this. The video would be better if you had a light on it, but anyone with half a brain, who would attempt this, should know how to remove drives, etc. To all those who had nasty comments, I hope you find happiness. Must be miserable to always be negative.

get something called a lamp….

banstaman

Yes, it is a tiny bit different though. There would be fewer screw points.

Would this be possible to do on an Inspiron 6400?

my hp lasted 6 months. my dell lasted 2 years and counting. remember this wont work for the dell 1520. well it will but there are more wires in the 1520. 2 for the camera 2 for the mic. 2 for the wireless antenna and a ground wire and the plug for the screen. every other step will work fine. Unless your hard drive is in the way… leave it in your laptop. its the safest place for it. nice vid

utuber2

Very good video – you explain very well. It’s just a shame about the lighting…

kothejunglist

too dark man.

anuj33in

dude it’s too dark….make the video again with more light

banstaman

I’m at the other end of the spectrum. Acer for me, is problems left and right. HP and Dell happen to be my best bet. Depending on the model(s) of course.

i dont know why but i dont like dells, or toshiba, i only like acer and hp, all the acers i had not one accident all of them work

tsm32383

traditionally, laptops were larger and had internal cdrom/floppy drives while notebooks didn't and were smaller and lighter in weight. These days, the term is used interchageably.
