  • You may need to apply some force to snap the hinges into place. Make sure you protect the shell and the LCD before applying force on the unit

Good Hinges

Good OEM Hinges.

After-market not great

I'm reviewing the after-market hinges. They aren't great. Mine were able to fit, but the classic snappiness just isn't there. It just doesn't feel right. I 100% recommend using your original hinges if you have them, or get the genuine ones.

As described

The "genuine" hinges are OEM authentic pulled from original consoles. However one set that I purchased did have internal rust that had seized up the hinge, making it unable to rotate. There is a certain risk with purchasing OEM products like this because the parts are already in a "used" condition.

Doesn’t fit all hinge caps

The way the aftermarket outer pin is made makes in incompatible with some hinge caps. Kinda frustrating, so beware!

Didn't fit

I got 2 sets, and I couldn't get any of them to fit properly in either mine or my brothers shell, so we wound up having to put the OEM ones back in.

I'm sorry to hear that Brenden.

Could you tell us what kind of shells you used that did not work with these hinges?
