Reattach plastic for hinges
I actually have the e5-575-33bm model, but the 5493 was the closest on the list .
The plastic holding the hinges broke (2 year old got to the laptop) and I tried loctite superglue (not the epoxy) which didn’t work very long. I want to do it right this time.
Is the epoxy the way to go? I’m worried it’s a resin, so it will break over time. Has anyone used this successfully? I did some searching online for good ways to attach 2 pieces of plastic and saw several sites suggest solvent based bonding and using something like PVC cement, but said it’s dependent on the type of plastics. Does anyone know if this would work on this case? Or something similar that would work for the acer case? Or any other method that may work for the long term?
Thanks for reading!
Is this a good question?

Hi @dlott91
you can consider below...
I had tried aradite rapid and there are some success on certain laptop cases.
ensure the area is clean before applying the epoxy mix...
allow time to cure, more than 24 hours and clamp securely if possible.
use after it is fully cured.
