Laptop Hinges Broken? Do Not Use Super Glue!

We see this every day: a customer walks in with a laptop that has glue all over the bezel and hinge area. "I tried to stick it," they say.

Why Glue is a Bad Idea

Laptop hinges bear a lot of tension. Super glue (Cyanoacrylate) is brittle. It cannot withstand the opening/closing force. Worse, liquid glue often seeps into the screen or motherboard, causing permanent damage.

The Correct Fix: Fabrication

Professional fabrication involves:

• Opening the laptop completely.
• Rebuilding the screw mounts using industrial epoxy or plastic welding.
• Loosening the tight hinges that caused the break in the first place.
