When I turn on my laptop already both my fans are really loud and I just assume thats because it needs a cleaning but my right fan recently has been buzzing incredibly loudly and once I removed the bottom cover I saw that it was turning on for around 5 seconds then turns off for around 10 seconds and it keeps doing it until my laptop turns off.
Hi @np_f1_2021 Check if the hinges are still securely attached to the lid. I’m not sure where you meant that it is loose, Iid or base assembly, or if the hinges are literally broken. If the base assembly side is loose, I would check if the posts that the hinges screw into on the base assembly are OK and not broken. Here’s the service manual for the laptop that may help. If the posts are broken (and not the hinge per se) usually the part number for the base enclosure is to be found somewhere in the enclosure. The only problem with this is that you most probably will have to completely dis-assemble the laptop to find it. If the problem is in the lid, it seems that the display panel is glued into the cover, so I can’t see how the hinges are attached to the lid. Maybe use a heat gun? to prise off the cover but if the screen still works OK maybe not, given the cost. If the hinges are literally broken maybe work out how they’re assembled and try to source replacements and somehow replace the broken part with parts from the new ones, i.e. if the centre pin of the hinge (or whatever is broken) is snapped but the section joining the lid is OK and secure then try to remove the pin and replace it with the bottom part of the new hinge etc. Not sure if this is practical but you will know better when you can see what’s wrong.
