| 1150513 | 2010-11-05 06:50:00 | Hi all, The hinges on my X53K series laptop lid/screen have become too stiff. Does anyone have ideas as to what I could safely deploy to resolve this nuisance. I'm wary of squirting some oily spray, but ..... what then? Thanks folks. |

| 1150514 | 2010-11-05 06:55:00 | Look for a can of crc-type stuff, check the label for the one that safe for electronics. Oil (hackedgadgets.com)isnt really a big deal because it's non-conductive. | jareemon (5207) | ||

| 1150516 | 2010-11-05 07:11:00 | Idealy you would want to repack the grease that was in your hinges - usually its of a specific type to retain some form of stiffness. CRC or silicone spray may loose that stiffness and you might end up having a floppy screen :p | SoniKalien (792) | ||
| 1150517 | 2010-11-05 07:27:00 | Yeah there is that, but prolly better than breaking off. :) Package should come with a small tube so you can direct it accurately. |
