- www.techstore.co.in ~ Have you purchased a Dell inspiron 3511 or 3515 laptop recently ? It might be Intel or AMD variant...You have to watch this video till end to rectify a major design flaw in it. Failing to do so will inevitably lead to damaging of the display screen & loss of invaluable time getting it repaired. This method works for any slim laptop & you can calibrate hinges scientifically.
Requesting all to log complaint with Dell and share this thread on their twitter handle. If under warranty Dell is replacing the parts without any charges.
My Dell was too stiff also, and it delaminated the top. Sent to Dell, they fixed it, but was just as stiff as before. You'd think they would 'calibrate' the hinges, but NO! Now the top is doing the same thing. Thanks Techstore for this info (that Dell techs need to learn.)
Wow... Can't tell you how grateful I am for this video. Saved me a trip to the computer store. Thank you and very much appreciated! 🙏🏻
My son's laptop broke one of the hinge mounting points on the screen. Took it apart and glued the hinge to the screen using epoxy. Adjusted the hinges according to the video and it now works again with no issues. Thanks for having a clear and concise video on how to address this problem.
I dont ever comment on videos but I just got a laptop this past cyber monday for my mother and the hinges are STILL extremely tight. Thanks to this video I can open it with one hand and can pass this on to her without worry. Thank you.
I JUST DID MINE AND ITS 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000X BETTER!! I saw that one of the hinges was almost gonna pop, my sisters laptop which is a HP 15S have this problem and its hinge is broken. I searched up and ur video came up first, I cant explain how happy I am rn! God Bless U! I hope no problems occur to my notebook because i removed it tho
Thanks Sir🙏 for this video. Have a Inspiron N5010 and one of the hinges had gotten tight and was not closing down the lid all the way. I was about to order new hinges. Came across your video and adjusted the screw on the hinge and it solved the problem. For the N5010, you need to break the hinge cover tabs to remove the black plastic cover so you can access the hinge adjuster screw. I had tried once to repair the problem thinking it was an alignment issue but could not see the hinge mechanism due to black the hinge cover. You saved me the cost of hinges. Thanks. I was procrastinating this issue for months but as you mentioned in the video, the additional stress can damage the display and also damage the plastic parts due to stress application.
This is an EXCELLENT video. Thank you for taking the time to make this and upload it for us!
Great vid didn't miss a single beat concise, simple, and precise.
Thanks for the video. I've just had a similar issue and after seeing your video I disassembled mine and boy is it hard to adjust. Because my model is a 2-in-1 (Inspiron 17 7706) there's a total of four nuts I must calibrate and the space between them is so tight. I gave up since no spanner/wrench can fit in that gap. Dell clearly doesn't want you to fix their products.
Thank you very much for your video. One hinge on my laptop snapped off the plastic mounting and started to damage the display case. With your video and some JB Weld original cold weld epoxy, I reused the hinge, re-seated, and epoxied it in place. Over time, these hinges tighten, which leads to the damage. It took me a few adjustments to the hinge bolts to get the tension right. I noticed that I could reassemble the case with the hinge covers removed, thus allowing me to adjust the hinge bolts until the tension was right. It seems one of the display bezel's snap clips near the formerly broken hinge broke, so there is a slight gap where the bezel is not flush against the case, but it is barely noticeable and should not cause problems.
Thanks so much for this video. I just got a Dell Inspiron 15" 3520 and the hinges were so stiff. I was able to fix it following your video.

This helped a lot! Thank you Techstore!
Hi Anand, Thank you for a good video on this topic. This weak hinge design and delicate structure of the laptop making it susceptible to damage when children are using it. Is there any gadget available to arrest the angle of lid protecting the laptop when children try to tilt the lid beyond its limit?
I wish I had seen this video before! Unfortunately, the hinges on mine broke out of nowhere and the display frame started to come apart. Luckily it was still under warranty and got it repaired, but I knew this was a design flaw. Many people on the internet reported this same issue with the same model, the Dell technical himself acknowledged it and recommended opting for Latitude model laptops, since those are sturdier. I also had an issue with my touchpad, it went absolutely crazy at times and was completely unresponsive. I solved it by unscrewing and removing it, then gently cleaned it with a cotton swab and reinstalled it. After that, the issue was gone. Maybe the connector was loose or there was some dirt on it, but I’m glad my computer is working correctly now. I like how fast it is, but I wish they used sturdier materials for the body
Such an easy and amazing video. Best video so far. Because of this video I fixed my laptop. 👏🏽
This works, But doesn't need to take apart the screen. I did it without removing the screen and the. The covers of the hinges can be removed while the screen is attached. And can adjust the hinges with needle nose pliers. But anyway thank you for the video ❤️
Excellent video sir. Kind regards from Sydney Australia.
