    Great camera work ! This is the first video dealing with this problem where you have the camera close enough to visualize the springs , washers and screws in detail .

    Great job, can't believe Apple used a plastic bracket, which with the tension was guaranteed to break. Thanks!

    My 2017 has tilted since I got it...I didn't realize it was a 'problem' but it is an annoyance. I finally googled because I get tired of always repositioning the screen. My post it notes pull it down! Nice instruction on what is wrong. Now to figure out how to get it fixed because we are still strictly sheltering due to Covid. I like your relaxing video.

    My thumbs were still sore two weeks after doing the repair from trying to push down on the washer against the spring. I just could not do it with the hinge still in the machine. So, I just took it out - the set of nine screws and six mounting screws. That reduced the amount of spring travel needed to get the screw in.

    • @Apple-Bay
      @Apple-Bay  2 года назад

      yes, the spring is really strong!!! That's why i push it with the screwdriver, not with my fingers

    i ordered this to repair my hinge... you made the first screw look very easy... my late 2013 27" imac the springs seem to require a lot more force. do you have any tips for lining up the screw and maintaining the pressure on the spring?

    • @Apple-Bay
      @Apple-Bay  4 года назад

      Hi Michael
      I been doing this repair so it look easy but yes the spring is rally strong, just push hard
      If u put on the bed will be easy

      For the 21.5” you can use just a normal washer as it’s only one screw

    not as easy as it looks. I had to support the back of the monitor with objects that kept the angle of the monitor in a position that held the hinge closer to the screw holes. With a lot of strength, I was able to hold the spring under the bracket and screwed on one screw. The other spring I had to pull down and twist the bracket over it, then with much force, push and tighten the other screw in place.

    • @Apple-Bay
      @Apple-Bay  2 года назад

      yes, That's how i did it, as u cant see how heavy the springs are, this is the best solution as I did this repair with a DIY plate and it bend once o try to fit it. that's why i manufacture these laser-cut plates
      Thanks !!!! 😊

    Really? Replacing a plastic bracket by another plastic bracket? I would just cut and drill my own bracket from a thin steel bar. Now when the size was measure, they just punch ten of thousands of those and sell it cheaply.

      i replace it with a metal bracket and yes i did make thousands of them and I'm selling at 5 box on ebay ( i trade mark it ) Cash4mac_uk
