LUBRICATES
WD-40's lubricating ingredients are widely dispersed and hold to all
moving
parts. WD-40 does not contain silicone or other additives that attract
dust
and dirt.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

catchadisck cuts-n-pastes of the manufacturers website and think he knows
it all

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

WD40 is for using on seized metal joints and such or to dispel water.

It's a right bodge solution, as the sticky film left behind is highly
efficent at trapping dirt and dust.

but you forte is your bodge solutions isn't it catchadickhead

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Calm down goofy. WD40 has tons of uses. We used to treat teh dashboard of
the work van and the door panels with it.
Its not "sticky". It *might* attract dust so a better alternative woul be
silicone spray. Like wot we use on our tredmill.

We have got some Camellia oil that was given to us, and it's made from
Camellias and it comes from Japan and is suppose not to 'degrade'. Still
it's an unknown quantity to us.

Does anyone know what would be a suitable and safe lubricant in this case?
Since we dont want to cause any problems with the plastic on this lap top.

Any particular model Fujitsu? All the one's that I've seen have metal
hinges buried under the plastic hinge cover.

We have have tried 'WD-40', but that seems effective for only a very short

Big mess, doesn't stay put, drips, and doesn't last. Also eats some
plastics.

True. Same with most vegetable oils.

Dunno.

Silicon lube should work. However, I would use soap. That's common
ordinary soap flakes or shredded Ivory brand soap bars. That's what I
use for doors, hinges, screws, cd trays, and any place where I need a
no-mess lube job.

Also, I would look a bit more carefully at the hinge you're attempting
to lube, and see if you're not shaving plastic as it moves. The
plastic chips will imbed themselves into the pivot area and eventually
jam the hinge. Just cleaning out the crud might be sufficient to make
the hinge work normally.

You said not to use vegetable oils. Yet then you suggest by way of
Ivory soap to use animal fat (sodium tallowate = sodium hydroxide, or
caustic lye, and tallow). Because Ivory is more caustic is why it has
better antimicrobial qualities. Yeah, like animal fat doesn't break
down. Ivory is more caustic than, say, Dove which is more mild and is a
synthethic detergent bar (synthetic surfecants and vegetable oil).

I always snickered about the "99.44% pure" slogan since they never did
mention from WHAT it was pure. It was a measure against the castile
soap (made from vegetable oil and less lye) against which it competed
back in the 1890's regarding proclaimed impurities (maybe the fine ash
used in soap-making to provide the salts) that were in the castile soap
but not in Ivory.

The hard lube sticks you buy (to rub on the lube which would do nothing
in the case of hinges or anywhere the lubricate needs to penetrate to
interface between the working surfaces) are made from some combination
of grease, wax, hardened fats (which would be more like the Ivory soap
bar), glyceride, graphite or PTFE (aka Teflon), molybdenum disulfide,
and a petroleum derived hydrocarbon. Obviously a soap bar or lube stick
won't last long where there is any humidity. That's why using a soap
bar on a kitchen drawer works well but not on drawers in the bathroom
vanity. A silicone-based lube won't be permanent but it lasts longer
than soap and won't build up like soap. Molybdenum disulfide (aka Moly)
is a dry lubricant and would probably work better on the drawers and
definitely on the hinges. Moly has an extraordinary affinity to stick
to metal so it's good for hinges once you get a wetting carrier to
penetrate and deposit the Moly on the mating surfaces or use a grease
formula to keep it sticking in place when you re-assemble the pieces.

While I'll use a soap bar to help screw in that superlong wood screw,
I'm not thereafter concerned about the lubrication qualities of the
soap. It doesn't have to provide long-lasting lubrication. Just once
is enough. Lasting lubrication is not what soap does. I snicker when
thinking about using it on hinges, as mentioned, and then wonder why the
hinge is squeaking again after a rainstorm or why the steamy bathroom
vanity drawers are sticking again. Might be a no-mess lube job but it's
not a good lube job.

I suggest you contact Fujitsu's tech support to discuss this problem.

Dry graphite lock lubricant, maybe ? A tint squirt of wax furniture polish ?

i totally agree

washingup liquid is good on sqeaky hinges for a while, till it rusts them

WD-40 will not hurt a laptop hinge . Try a couple drops of sewing
machine or 3-in-0ne oil . Just dont use so much where it will run all
over . These oils will not hurt plastics .
Your hinges are most likely metal undr the plastic .

LUBRICATES
WD-40's lubricating ingredients are widely dispersed and hold to
all
moving
parts. WD-40 does not contain silicone or other additives that
attract
dust
and dirt.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

catchadisck cuts-n-pastes of the manufacturers website and think
he
knows
it all

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

WD40 is for using on seized metal joints and such or to dispel
water.

It's a right bodge solution, as the sticky film left behind is
highly
efficent at trapping dirt and dust.

but you forte is your bodge solutions isn't it catchadickhead

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Calm down goofy. WD40 has tons of uses. We used to treat teh
dashboard of
the work van and the door panels with it.
Its not "sticky". It *might* attract dust so a better alternative
woul be
silicone spray. Like wot we use on our tredmill.
FYI

sorry, I was more interested in Katchadickhead's claim that he know
all
about it after cut-n-pasting off the manufacturers website
when,obviously,
he has never used it in his life. After all , they won't let him out
of the
cellar. Just wait till they find out he's gotton onto the Internet.
He'll be
in for a paddling then !

strokes beard thoughtfuly
Hmmmm...are you in fact a sock of Buckys?
The orthograpics are *so* similar


It's doubtful. Fuckfaced InBreeder can't type a sentence without referring
to piles of shit.

His scat fetish is his most endearing quality!

john hamilton posted for all of us...

The hinges on our Fujitsu laptop screen appear to be 'all' plastic and they
get very 'difficult to move' making the screen difficult to fold up and
down.

We have have tried 'WD-40', but that seems effective for only a very short
time.

We are afraid to use ordinary oil as we thought it might effect the plastic.
We were thinking of using olive oil, but somebody has told us that olive oil
'degrades' and goes sticky, over time.

We have got some Camellia oil that was given to us, and it's made from
Camellias and it comes from Japan and is suppose not to 'degrade'. Still
it's an unknown quantity to us.

Does anyone know what would be a suitable and safe lubricant in this case?
Since we dont want to cause any problems with the plastic on this lap top.
Grateful for any suggestions, thanks.
