Fixed it myself, feeling unstoppable!
few days back, the hinge on my dell laptop broke. Classic case-mechanical failure, not even my fault. I was scared af, called few repair stores and every single one quoted absurd amount. everyone around me said the same thing: “Don’t risk it.” “You’ll make it worse.” “Just pay and get it done.” but something in me said screw that. I did my research, looked at what was really going wrong, pulled out the tools, and went for it. And guess what? IT. FREAKING. WORKED. My laptop hinge is now solid, functioning, and holding up like new. I legit can’t explain how good it feels to prove everyone wrong and save money in the process. Just needed to share this tiny victory. Today, I’m not just a laptop user...I’m a hinge engineer XD submitted by /u/thermodynite [link] [comments]
