Hinge issues.

For some reason on my XPS studio 15 the hinge is coming off.
Anyone know what I should do?
I don't really want to get dell to fix it because they just replace the ENTIRE LCD screen (This is the 2nd time this has happened to me)
The reason why I don't want to send it in is because I had an invisible shield thing installed on it.
(the part right above the light circle + XPS logo)

Offtopic: What is a good laptop sleeve for the SXPS 15?

 

Bump for help

 

Superglue?

Also, don't you mean SXPS 16? I'm pretty sure they never made a 15 inch version.

 

I don't advise superglue, that can void whatever is left of the warranty. I would bite the bullet and send it back to Dell.

 

Hm, last time they didn't send me a box.
They basically sent a replacement to a onsite tech and they swapped it out.
>.< darn. I paid liek 25$ for entire body for invisisheild to get it installed. But its most likely going to be half that price since its only top and I can remove invishiled + send it back to them for replacement. I suppose I will wait until the end of my warrenty draws near.

Thanks for your replies.

-edit: and yes I did mean SXPS 16

 

Well it's all up to you. Those kind of hinge problems only get worse with time and after X time Dell could be like well that was physical damage and it not covered by a standard warranty. When it's small like that I would get the problem fixed right away rather than it get progressively worse. Just my opinion.

 

Same here.
I'm on my third screen because of this issue and they've separated again!

 

Typical Dell hinge fails easily. Not too long ago I raised this question and it was too early to tell. The reason I didn't get an XPS is because the hinge looked frail like most of the other Dell laptops.

From my experience, the only solution is getting the hinge REPLACED. Don't bother with super glue, it's not strong enough to handle the pivoting stress. You can not fix a weak or failing hinge, it WILL only get worst. It needs to be replaced.

 

Its not the hinge its self just a part of it.
The mechism works fine. Its just the aesthetic part.

 

I know what you're talking about, and you're right, it's just the aesthetic part, the functionality of the hinge isn't affected. If you don't want to have your screen replaced, either superglue it closed (it won't void your warranty, unless you're trying to get that particular piece replaced, which it seem you want to avoid anyway), or leave it as it is.
