As you all know I work on people’s laptops and desktop PC’s day and night.

It’s very rarely I get a customer’s computer that has a SSD = Solid State Drive as opposed to the run of the mill HDD = Hard Disk Drive.

Every time I have worked on a machine with an SSD, I have been green with envy at the pure performance and overall speed difference it makes.

So a couple of days ago I took the plunge and decided that I would convert from old HHD tech to the new SSD tech.

OMG I can’t believe the speed my machine now runs at.
We are not talking 3 or 4 times faster, I’m talking about 20 times faster.

I’m as happy as a pig in s**t.

Below there is the link to the SSD.

Lenovo G575 Hinge Damage.

This week one of our customers came to us with a Lenovo G575 laptop with what looked to be a broken hinge on the left-hand side.

The moral of this story is never assume before ordering the parts.
When we look in more detail at the problem we noticed that the hinge was indeed not broken but far worse the screws that attach the hinge to the bottom casing have broken plastic away from inside the casing.

So it wasn't a hinge that needed ordering but the complete laptop's bottom casing.

A hinge repair is not to bad but this job is the most in-depth total disassembly / reassembly job of them all.

We also loosened the hinge a lubricated so as to stop this ever happening again as it was very tight.

The pictures tell the rest.

Disclaimer, don't try this yourself, it's a job for the professionals.
