A typical problem for MSI laptops is weak hinges, many budget gaming models of MSI have this problem, especially if these are 17inch models. Other manufacturers also have similar problems in pursuit of the subtlety of the display frames and the laptops themselves. However, their durability suffers, and programmed aging also plays a role. In this video, I will show you how to fix this with the help of improvised means (superglue and soda), and will also perform a service of the laptop.
