Several years ago….my right hinge broke. I took it to my local pc guy and he stated that he was unable to fix it. Since then…>I have kept it (the top cover) opened on my desk and just cover the keyboard with a black cloth to keep out the dust (from the keyboard). During a move….I was able to get the cover closed to transport it during the move. However, the other day (1 1/2 years after the move)…..a fire alarm went off in my building and I thought it was a real fire (turned out NOT to be a real fire)…and when I attempted to close the laptop/notebook….it would not bend properly….and broke off the right side plastic that connects the lcd screen near the hinge. I was able to tape the right side plastic back to the other plastic above the hinge….to be able to continue to keep it open (and cover keyboard with black cloth). Since you have spent considerable time with this website www.insidemylaptop.com/taking-apart-asus-k52F-laptop…..I AM HOPING YOU CAN OFFER ME SOME HELP??? I don’t think I saw how to change out the hinges on this website….but….I’m guessing….you have had the same hinge breaking problem….since it is a known problem with the ASUS K52F??? I have read contradictory comments on replacing the hinges on the ASUS K52F online. One place says they can NOT be replaced: HOW TO REPAIR ASUS HINGE: THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO REPAIR THE BROKEN HINGE….REQUIRE LONG HOURS OR REQUIRE SPECIAL EQUIPMENT. I see that both Amazon.com & Ebay.com sells the replacement hinges for the ASUS K52F….but….since you have MUCH experience with this laptop…..I’m requesting your opinion….IS IT LIKELY THAT I CAN REPLACE THE HINGES ON THE ASUS K5E2F WITH LITTLE OR NOT TROUBLE? Also….I believe I read that there is some type of lubricating oil….that I could apply to the still connected hinge….that would enable it to shut successfully. DO YOU KNOW WHAT TYPE OF LUBRICATING OIL THAT WOLD ALLOW THE STILL CONNECTED HINGE TO SUCCESSFULLY CLOSE? ….so I can lubricate it to be able to keep using it…..but allow it to close properly? Thanks SO much for your help! Robin Dulaney

@ viraj,
All drives are different and I don’t have instructions for fixing DVD drives. Probably it will be easier to replace the whole drive.
