Great guide! One question: where can I buy the actual replacement hinge? Any tips?

Rob Riggle - Jun 21, 2019

I was able to find the hinges for mine on the Global Direct Parts web site. The item name is: OEM Samsung Chromebook Plus XE513C24, Pro XE510C24 Metal Hinge Set

How did you remove/unloop the cables in the hinges? do they just come right off?

Andrew Cullum - Jan 5, 2020

The cables are just pushed into the side of the hinge. One side had a stopper holding the cable in place that I had to pull out, but the other had nothing holding the cable (that was the broken hinge on my chromebook, so maybe it had a stopper that had fallen out at one point). Once the stopper was removed from the one hinge, I could pull the cables out, and push them into new hinges.

Just replaced these hinges on my computer … was only a bit confused with the stopper in the hinge but otherwise this guide was extremely helpful. Took about 30 min to do …
