I've watched quite a few videos to figure out what to do with my broken hinge ( MSI GE 76 RAIDER). M SI would take weeks at my expense; local shops estimated in the $200+ range after waiting for new parts... So it looks like you have the best solution. I spent about 10 bucks on the JBWELD and a small clamp, watched your video several times and tried your solution. This morning I unclamped the repair, put it back together and it is like new. Thank you for your great solution!!!

Someone said msi might fix it for free, but if not, hope the repair goes well. Make sure to watch it fully before proceeding. Don't use other glues/epoxies.
Final update: it’s perfect!! Only thing I did differently was use an excessive amount of painter’s tape to make sure the JB didn’t get on any incorrect surface. Thanks so much for your video you’re a lifesaver man.

My left hinge just broke this morning and lo and behold, there are YT videos on how to repair it. This one makes the most sense to me so going to order some JB Weld and give it a shot. I will let you and your viewers know how it goes. Wish me luck !!
Hope the repair goes well. It's easiest to do it with the screen assembly removed, but you need to put the bezel back on to make sure the jbweld isn't too thick.
@@ItsBinhRepaired Yeah now on top of the hinge issue the screen went blank while I was messing with it. It came back on and off again so must be a loose connection. I ordered the JB Weld and will deal with it when that gets here. I'm not looking forward to it though. At least I have a backup laptop to hold me thru until then. I swear I love the MSI Raider LT, it's a great gaming machine, but I have had more than a couple of problems with it.
I did this repair, but instead of gluing the whole hinge I used jb weld and glued the screw mounts back into place making sure they were centered. After the epoxy started to set I carefully and loosely put in the screws just to make sure everything was aligned perfectly. Then clamped and let it cure. Works like new and I am able to remove the screws if needed. Hope it holds up.
Thank you so much for this video. This exact thing happened to me same laptop same hinge same issue. Thank God I came across this video. Great work my guy👍👍

Nice job this is a pretty good tutorial on hinge repair a more recent laptop... If I see anyone asking about repair this model I'll send them here... Personally I would have removed the screen to get better access but 100% understand why you didn't as it's a bit** to get that screen off the lid... And your approach seems more practical and easier than messing with the screen...
@@ItsBinhRepaired bro my screen went out last night too. It was on yesterday but I closed it opened it again and black unresponsive screen. Is this a big problem or did it just get disconnected
Mine broke after purchasing for only 1-2 months I think and I can’t really find a good local repair store for it either since I live in Thailand smh.. I gotta try your method and see what happened.. mine is Msi katana gf66
My hinge isn't broken... yet... but I can feel it's dislodged from where it should be. So I'm just keeping this in my back catalogue and not shutting the screen until I plan to transport the laptop. Big thanks in advance for calming my nerves about the assembly, I was worried I'd ruin the screen just trying to pull back the adhesive layer - pulling down works great for a check.
Finally gor around to checking the screws@@ItsBinhRepaired , they all seemed tight and I think the clicking and looseness I felt was the plastic cap had come loose. Snapped it back into place and everything seems fine! (still minimizing how much I open and close this thing though.)
@@ItsBinhRepaired Well, like magic I tried packing up the laptop today and what I thought was fixed completely snapped apart. So glad I saved this video.
I love this video, I am going to try this repair tonight, as my hinge on the right side of my laptop broke the other day. One thing I am uncertain about is the little plastic piece that sits over the hinge. Is that part essential, I don't have it on my hinge and am now guessing that it would have fallen out somewhere. Any thoughts? Also, thank you in advance!
Sounds good, I appreciate it! Great video and production value. I will shoot you something after, assuming it works, as you will have saved me a great deal of time and money.@@ItsBinhRepaired
Your video was super helpful and I was able to repair the hinge with JB weld. However, I think in the process I may have loosened the cable or something. When I turn the laptop back on, there are horizontal lines at regular intervals maybe like every 2 mm it slips between screen, horizontal line screen, horizontal line. it doesn't seem like when you physically damage a certain area of the screen and just stop area gets lines in it. It almost seems like the little cable that goes through near the bottom left was loosened or damaged. Do you have any videos on how to access that to check and see if maybe the cable just came loose?
@popeyefur Damn i came back this morning after weekend and find out that i have those same lines as you. 3 lines at the very bottom of the screen. Yet i havent' touch it or did any kind of reparation. I left it open for the weekend and boom, somehow they apparead. Have u find a way to fix the problem ? That cant be my cable cause i left my laptop open.

I've seen on another repair channel.. the guy was using Hot glue, and it seemed to work just as well. The best thing about it is that you can just add heat and pull it back apart if you need to and reapply as needed, etc. So it's technically not as strong on paper, but it's more versatile in that way.
@calholli hot glue will not even hold for a week. You can do it if you want, but good luck getting that junk off after it fails and doing it right right way. Jbweld won't stick to that junk.
i have the same laptop, no hinge problem though.Mostly i hardly close and open the laptop, its almost always opened. Also u gotta close and open the laptop properly (from the middle not the corners).
What I've seen other people do is just drill holes all the way through the backplate and then mount it with through bolts.. It makes it looke kinda steampunk, but who cares. It would definitely never break again after that.
@@ItsBinhRepaired I get that-- but It works 100 times better. It's definitely what I'll be doing. To be honest, they should actually be built with nice looking external hinges riveted on and looking classy.. like an old wrought iron gate; but we don't build things to last, sadly.
I bought this model computer in 2021. Model is MSI GE 76 RAIDER. But 3 months ago, its right and left hinges broke. I am really sad. I was looking for a solution on the internet. Does your solution still work?
@@ItsBinhRepaired I didn't mean it wasn't still fixable. I'm just saying me "personally" if the lid broke in 2 place or twice in the same place. i wouldn't trust it so I just replace it...
If I buy a replacement hinge assembly from MSI it's going to include the plastic housing that all the screws are supposed to be set into, would it require full disassembly to replace this part? The hinge assembly is about 40 dollars.
Glad it helped. If you haven't already, please like and subscribe so others can find my videos and possibly consider watching a few others to get the algorithm to recommend my channel. Thanks!
This video doesn't consider the reason why the hinge broke away from the lid in the first place. The lock nut on the hinge needs to be loosened (as this is the typical reason for lid/hinge breaks) so that it doesn't create undo stress on the threaded inserts on the lid. Simply caking it with J.B. Weld is pure amateur hour. Its messy and if you don't do it correctly the bezel won't go back on properly. This one-time fix guarantees the hinge will have to be replaced along with the lid if you ever have problems with the lid in the future. This unit would need a complete break down to address the seizing of the hinge. Once you address the seized hinge by loosening the lock nut. I use LePage Super Glue Gel to reform the plastic around the threaded inserts and then Hot Glue the surrounding area to provide the maximum bonding area before putting the lid back together. In 17 years professionally I have not had a single issue with this process. Disclaimer: This isn’t a slight against the creator of this video. He obviously knows his way around a computer. As a technician and a business owner this would not be addressing the problem at hand and would be unacceptable in my view.
Lol... except that's not the issue. The issue is it's a design flaw, which is caused by the desire for thinner screens with narrower bezels. The hinge is too narrow, so there is too much torque on the screw mounts. Yes, you can loosen the hinges, but then you get a floppy screen that falls over too easily. By flooding the hinge with jbweld, it holds the hinge at the top and bottom as well as closer to the part that rotates, giving it a much better bond and more leverage. As for the bezel not going on, a thin plastic film is put over the jbweld and the bezel is put back before the jbweld hardens to ensure proper fit and placement of the hinge as well. Hot glue?! I can tear hot glue apart with my hands. That will do absolutely nothing to hold the hinge other than to keep it aligned while the other glue sets. I've had maybe 2 out of the hundreds come back, and that's because I tried to keep the functional screws in use... bad idea.
I had my Mechanical Engineer son in law make me flat spring clamps for each side (bent flat steel stock) because the jbweld solution didn't hold together more than a few months. With the flat clamps in place, the hinge functions as it should. The clamps tend to stay mostly in place, even with the lid closed. The tech at the repair shop who did the jbweld bit for me said that he could not loosen the spring/bolt of the original design. Dunno if he actually forgot to try it when I told him that it need to be loosened.@@ItsBinhRepaired
@@ItsBinhRepaired(of course not that loose .) so what would the best choice for that kind of laptop? (Like the msi, Are all msi has small or fragile hinge?)
What a legend... i just had the same hinge snap on my ge66 raider and i'm 100% doing this. What a lifesaver thanks a lot also I liked and subbed. I was going to buy a new top case for it but this is a much easier fix as the left hinge feels to be sturdy still and i assume id have to remove the bottom case and lots of components to be able to replace the top case anyways. Appriciate your vid keep up the awesome repair vids!
@@ItsBinhRepaired thanks you think it will still work if that long loose plastic piece that you put in at the end is broken and not able to be put back?
@@markus301 no, my warranty expired, but apparently they offer a one time courtesy repair for this broken hinge issue on these laptops. There was a class action lawsuit which probably has something to do with it. It was free shipping and everything. No charge for this repair.
@lesleyyan3367 don't loosen the hinge. Just jbweld it in place. If you loosen it, it'll flop over when moving it and can cause sudden shock when that happens, causing it to break again.
All of these comments and people having the same problem, and I am one of them what does that tell you all? I'm so disappointed in MSI, this model SHOULD'VE been in much better build quality, it's not midrange or budget, at least make the border metal or something rather than sticking hinges on bad plastic that wear off after warranty ends, this sucks and dirty step from MSI.

If it's broken, you'll need to use jbweld to epoxy it in place. I have videos of that process on multiple models.

I regret ever buying this piece of junk. It has been nothing but trouble.

No way i can do this on my own
