• where to buy this mini electric screwdriver? thanks 🙂

• In South Africa. It gets hot here. think the glue is still fine in this weather. Makes the hot glue sticky but not liquid. works well down here. done quite a few of these repairs.

• hot glue is temporary solution. you need to apply negative-positive glue.

• I can recommend something like Q-Bond, Visbella Speedy Fix or whatever other manufacturers call it for repairing broken plastics. Works much better than hot glue from my experience.

• Hello does anyone have an idea of how to melt the glue without a hot air gun?

• WAIT. Is that solder mask at 6:28?? LOL, Sorin is getting so "undodgy"! 🤣

• Why so many negative comments? Sorin has said many times that these are repairs based on cost. Repairing the second laptop back to factory would mean replacing hinges and a back cover with new parts. Some of these repairs can cost more than the laptop is worth and customers who don't want to pay that much. We are not complaining about repairing motherboards, the manufacturer will say to replace it. This is no different. Sorin is providing a great service and showing you real world repairs for nothing. Give the man some peace and props for all the work he has done.

• Hi bud, another great vid, but unfortunately it wont last long, as those areas around the hinges take some real strain. Ive repaired hundreds of laptops with that issue, and ive tried everything going. I find the best thing to be JB weld, which takes a good bit to set fully, but when it does its like plastic and holdd the best out of everything ive tried. i guarantee yo that wont last long mate sadly, even with the hinges being loosened, which was also a good move, as they would have snapped instantly had yo not done that, which im sure you are well aware ! Keep p the great vids mate, ive been binge watching you for a week now lol 😁

• You could ask the customer if they use the Laptop out in the sun? and explain the hot glue could soften and then if they want it done that way or epoxy ect.

• Hello🤝hot glue master in action 👍👍👍👍good job 👏👏👏👏👏👏👋👋👋👋👋

• I've tried these methods, but usually that doesn't last more than 3 months. Cheap fragile plastic will break around the hot glue.
  Also, hot glue usually has less grip strength, rather than cyanoacrylate, but it is also not the best solution.
  If you have an option, I'd suggest epoxy resin, but it takes up to 72 hours for the final cure.
  If the back lid is any kind of metal, you'd better drill, make threads and use longer crews.
  For the base, my best method is to use melted plastic (the same, as the case) to make a mould and "solder" the nuts there again.

• This is what we call ' The Sorin method ' 😂… properly calibrated hinge repair!

• I think this is a better fix in case you need to repair something else. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdAnPFbkWqY

• I like these type of repairs as well.. Not all repairs are board related.. Well done m8..

• This channel is beyond trolling…

• I can Donate a Monitor for you if you want it. Previous owner plew it up with a wrong power adapter. I have not even touched it, so I cannot confirm.

• Și puțină mecanică, nu strică.

• Hot glue is shit! EPO! And loose hinge nut! It broke because hinge got stuck.
