    Unfortunately I can’t see the videos but if you’re mentioning the sturdiness of the hinges, which make the screen not open or close as smooth as it was then yes

    Anyway after disassembling the screen bezel and seeing under it, I found out that the bolt holding the hinge was stripped..!! How did that happen in a new PC?!


    How can I solve this?!

    I can’t find someone in Egypt, who sells that hinge or even repairs it. I don’t close the lid anymore and now the laptop turned into a fixed Desktop..!!

    any help in finding the hinge to be replaced or the bolts that come with it, would be very beneficial

    I solved that myself with a screwdriver and a size 2.5 nut looser

    First I removed the back of the laptop, then the fan vent housing on the back. Now the bluish heat sink was exposed and the stiff nut. With some hand force I could loosen up the hinge to even make it "one hand" opener like proper new laptops…!!

    The hinge stiffness is a design issue that should have been addressed and properly maintained. It took me a lot of trial an error to get the right stiffness, that won't cause pressure on the bezel housing and won't stiffen up again in the future
