    Yesterday my hinge (AC) just got loose. I was watching TV, when suddendly I heard a "snap" sound from my FW. Then I notice the hinge problem.

    I fix it today, without open it, just drop some epoxic glue (Kola loka) then I add some baking soda in the joint, this mix makes the glue gets solid like rock.

    Now is OK, AC hinge is sturdy again, repair was successful.

    I have experience repairing notebooks and laptops. I must say I'm a little dissapointed with the quality materials of this Laptop. Anyways I still love it!.

    I hope this info be useful to you guys!

    Greetings.
