I thought about doing that, but I was worried about glueing the hinge shut. What lube did you use?

Some admin moved my message from the other thread so this one doesn't make sense. Follow this link to see the original post. https://community.acer.com/en/discussion/536719/hinge-issue-on-aspire-e-15-e5-575-33bm/ [Edited word by moderator - Acer-karp]

Scroll up to see my "fix". I'm still using the binder clip, although I did put a piece of duct tape on to keep it from popping off when I put it in my shoulder bag.

I just clipped it from the side at the bottom of the screen over the hinge area.

I wonder if we all just forwarded the bill to Acer if they would notice. probablyNot https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=1B4-00E1-003P6

*You*, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. {andThereAren'tManyOfUsLeft!}

thankYouSoMuch, backwardsmoonwalking, that is a fantastic resource! I'm not sure if my hinge is actually broken, it acts more like some stripped screws. Now I can find out ferShure! Does anyone have a source for hinges?

Thanks! I'm probably going to leave it on and put some tape on it to keep it from popping off. It's a shame to be so tacky with an otherwise good device, though. Unless Acer steps up and offers a fix I certainly won't buy another.

I guess I should be more specific. Is there any remedy offered by Acer for this widespread, ongoing problem?

Mine did that also. I've found that a smal binder clip holds it together but still allows it to open and close. It's a ***** [content removed] that Acer won't take care of this widespread, ongoing problem. [edited the thread to hide sensitive information]

I have found that a small binder clip holds mine together and still allows it to open and close. It's a shame that Acer has not responded better to this widespread problem.

I have found that a small binder clip is just the right size to hold it together and also allow it to open and close. Kinda tacky, but it is working so far. It's a shame that Acer hasn't come up with a fix for everyone with this ongoing problem. Seems like the should offer a free fix since the problem is so widespread.
