the metallic material that the hinge attaches screws into to attach
screen to the computer body broke on my HP omni book 6000. i was
wondering what glue people out there on the internet recommend? super
glue(CA) or the fast drying epoxy(5 min)? is there an issue with
flexability? its a pretty stressed area.
thanks

bhabronz:
I would use JB WELD, found at any auto parts store, better than most
clear expoxys, also do NOT use the "quick setting" types of glues
either, not as strong and as adhesive as the regular "over-night"
types.

If it's what I think it is (mine went on my 6100, very similar laptop) Then
forget about glue, there is nothing remotely strong enough to bond it.
Replacement of the broken item is the only solution.

If it is like the one's I've fixed they are a very highly stressed
area. This is due to the damper in the hinge causes a lot of pressure
on the hinges. The one's I've repaired had to be completely taken apart
and the arm was brazed. It the arm is pot metal (gray looking stuff) it
can't be welded so it will need a new arm.
