dell Inspiron 15 5565 hinges stiff & Hot
I sent away for a dell studio 1745 but the seller sent me a dell Inspiron 15 5565 with touch screen instead
Problems it has are it runs hot I already took it apart and cleaned the fan and the heat sink I also replayed the thermal past
2 The hinges are stiff to wear when you open it up it makes a creak noise is there a way to loosen up the hinge on these laptops I know on the acers it has a nut you can turn to loosen it up

Stiff and creaky hinges can be loosen up by applying a few drops of WD-40 or sewing machine oil.
The ultimate solution is working with the seller instead of accepting a potentially broken down laptop (which is harder to repair than desktop).
