The hinges on our Fujitsu laptop screen appear to be 'all' plastic and
they get very 'difficult to move' making the screen difficult to fold
up and down.

We have have tried 'WD-40', but that seems effective for only a very
short time.

We are afraid to use ordinary oil as we thought it might effect the
plastic. We were thinking of using olive oil, but somebody has told us
that olive oil 'degrades' and goes sticky, over time.

We have got some Camellia oil that was given to us, and it's made from
Camellias and it comes from Japan and is suppose not to 'degrade'.
Still it's an unknown quantity to us.

Does anyone know what would be a suitable and safe lubricant in this
case? Since we dont want to cause any problems with the plastic on
this lap top. Grateful for any suggestions, thanks.



Do you have a hobby shop in your area?
Esp. one that caters to Model railroaders?
You can buy a Plastics Compatible Lube there.
