Lenovo p580 repair (pics included)

[ls1995]

a while ago, my lenovo P580 dropped about a foot or two and hit the ground. The laptop works fine performance wise, but there is damage to the hinges that I would like to repair.

Tips for fixing this issue?

Without new parts it will be difficult.
I'd say glue is your only option.

If you think you can glue it, I have had good luck with "The Amazing E6000" made by Eclectic Products.

Craft shops among others should have it.

It dries clear.
It sticks excellent to anything.
Dries rubbery.
Between the sticky, and the rubbery, it is almost impossible to separate 2 piece glued together.

It is runny at first but begins to dry in a few minutes.
I have glue many thing I thought was not possible, with this stuff.



















If yo think it can be glued

Hi, you can start with the maintenance manual, look for the broken parts in the laptop, and you have the FRU numbers in the manual. Google the number for the parts you need and you will have the sites who sell the parts.
