Chosen Solution
Hi my screen on the 2015 MacBook is requires quite a bit of effort, more than normal, to open and close. Do I need new hinges or can I just lubricate the ones that are on the MacBook, or is there another solution to the problem. Thanks
So the issue with the hinges is that they are attached to the screen in a way that you can’t replace them without replacing the whole display assembly. You can definitely try to lubricate the hinges, but you would need a high quality refined clear lubricant such as 3in1 electric motor lubricant, or a tapping fluid. Drop or two down one hinge at a time, with the computer open and resting on it’s side. The drops of lubricant should work there way into the hinges the more you use your device. Also if you plan on opening up your device, make sure that the hinges themselves are relatively clean. Debris build up could be causing your issue.
just spray some WD-40 into a small dish, dip a cotton swab just the wet it slightly. Now rub the clutch springs which are on the hinges.
