Yeah, that broken hinge issue is fairly well known. The repair is to semi-dismantle the screen and use cotton balls and superglue (or epoxy for an even more permanent fix) to bond the plastic clamshell to the hinges as the plastic they used for those models is such low-grade crappy plastic that was never meant to be used for a load bearing part that no matter what else you do it will re-break. Even with that fix, it can and will re-break, just in a different location so you have to be forever careful with this $1,200 laptop.
