csicutadd Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone has solved the issue on their M14x R2 regarding the hinge popping out? I recently noticed the the left hinge holding the screen to the rest of the laptop has been popping out considerably to the point it exposes the inside just a bit and was wondering if anyone has managed to solve this issue by themselves. I've looked this up and have had different answers ranging from wear and tear to some saying that there is an uneven pressure between the left hinge and right hinge, but still no solution has been found. If anyone has suggestions or can point me in the right directions it would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator angerthosenear Posted March 19, 2014 Moderator Share Posted March 19, 2014 Can you take a picture of where the gap is? I've taken my unit apart many times and I didn't see anywhere where it could open up like that. Might give some pointers. Is it the bezel piece that is coming off? Or part of the lower assembly/chassis where it is coming apart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reecemiller1993 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I had the same thing happen to my M14X, except mine did it suddenly and ripped the hinge out of the base of the LCD. You can buy a replacement off of eBay for pretty cheap before you end up buying an entirely new LCD housing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
