MacBook Pro 13インチ Unibody Mid 2010の右側クラッチヒンジの交換

If you don't use loctite on your screw threads or some other equivalent your hinges will come loose again! The hinge is probably exposed to more vibration and use than any other mechanical system on your computer. Three months after performing this repair to tighten my wobbly hinges, they are loose again! Buy some thread locking adhesive, save yourself the pain of a double repair job!

YES! Threadlocker is amazing for keeping these together!!

I keep a twist tube of blue threadlocker with my screwdrivers for this and all other screws I don't want to come undone due to vibration.

It can be a little messy, but here's what works best for me:

Usually I put a strong magnet on the screwdriver first

Then I put the screw on the tip

Then I twist out a tiny bit of threadlocker and stick the tip of the screw into using the screwdriver as a handle

And finally install the screw

A bit of blue threadlocker usually squeezes out of the threads and builds up around the screw head, if it's not too much I just leave it there.

I try not to touch the threadlocker with my fingers since it's sticky and will get everyhwere and make your tools & keyboard sticky even if you can't see it anymore.

The one I got from Amazon was a pretty good value I think:

Permatex 24010 Medium Strength Threadlocker Blue Gel, 10 g Gel Twist Applicator

It's great for working on my bicycle and cars as well, a little bit goes a long way.

My screen won't come back on after replacing the hinges. Heeeellllpppp. Lol
