I tore apart my Green753 tonight in order to get a look at fixing the hinges and also what type of speaker they use so I can order replacements. It appears they use 1 inch speakers which are 8 ohms at 0.3 watts.
There is room to fill epoxy in around the hinge mounts, which is good. I’m also going to have to pool at the outside as well though which is gonna be ugly, but ah well.
The disassembly process didn’t leave the laptop unscathed but it could have been way worse. I only lost a couple clips on the display assembly, but both screw wells on the front bezel broke. I also lost a clip on the palm rest and both front clips on the center clutch of course.
It should still go back together without too much trouble I think, with a bit of glue and epoxy in the mix. It probably would have gone a lot worse without Don’s guide!
I’m also going to relubricate and loosen the hinge.
This also means that I’ll be taking some photos of the internals and adding them to my website.
