They usually screw back in

I had left it to repair shop and they glued it and lots of glue may I add. It has then over time a (2 months leaked down in to fan and now fan is broke) it is a computer repair shop so I’m just wondering is it normal to use a hot glue gun

Majority of these are clipped in under the palmrest and you pop them out by inserting a knife or small flathead screwdriver.

Wherever you brought it has ruin your laptop. No reason to ever use a glue gun. Melting down?

Bring it back in, ask for a manager. You need a new laptop or compensation for a terrible job.


If you read your opening post it sounds like you're trying to fix your laptop with a glue gun. It sounds ridiculous to even consider using one.

Thank you for your reply, I said it like that as I just wanted to see if it was the norm I thought if I wrote a post ranting about the shop I would not get a response. I contacted the shop today and they didn’t think there was anything wrong with using a glue gun so I kind of thought I was in the wrong giving out. So I was looking for someone who knows the ins and outs of computer repair would it be a shoddy job.

Here is one of the pictures of the inside

What model is the laptop? That doesn't look like a normal up to date laptop. Definitely not a norm to use a glue gun though.

I know its online and all but sometimes its better to think and slow down first before you bite someones head off

most laptop models have a youtube video of them being opened up. Maybe take a look at one of those.
They might have cracked some plastic casing and are covering themselves, unless it's a weird model that actually uses glue. I've personally never seen it though.

It’s a ASUs vivo book I don’t think it’s that old it was only purchased in January new, however I left it in to the repair shop instead of sending it back under warranty as the s button didn’t work. Very stupid as the damage now is too much I’m just going to have to buy a new one. But I just wanted the shop to admit they where wrong but they don’t think so.

I don’t really know for sure but I don’t think they where meant to use the hot glue

Apparently it is originally stuck together with plastic. Disassembly includes using a soldering iron to break down plastic to access the keyboard. But that glue job looks absolutely terrible
