It's annoying when it could be an easy fix for someone who knows what they're doing, and the manufacturers charge a fortune to get you to buy a new one instead.

DiegoDiego Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Hardly petty, but littering. Saw a grown man throw rubbish over a fence into a park and his two pals said nothing. Despicable behaviour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 23 hours ago, welshbairn said: I was kidding, the boy had you taking the whole thing apart with a kitchen knife! I'm afraid that's pretty standard with modern laptops; they're largely held closed with plastic teeth that have to be gently separated, if not with a dull knife then a spudger (not Biggie's murderpuss). Yer video man's advice with the hinge seems pretty sound. I had one where the metal hinge ripped off the plastic, and some kind of epoxy was the only sensible answer, although it didn't last as the hinges were stiff as f**k anyway, so it broke away again. @scottsdad - get a replacement from work with a hard drive access panel in the bottom, get a cheap SSD, and swap them over when you want to perform your filthy business on the internet without them knowing. You're welcome. Also, when you've taken everything off your old laptop, download and run DBAN on your old hard drive. No-one must ever know your secret shame. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
