Photos underneath the librem 14 hinge

Any feedback on this new hinge ?

I would also like to report that I have a Librem 13 v2, and while my display cable has problems, my hinge has never had a problem. It is going on 3 years old now.

The hinge of my librem 13v2 has been fine for ~3.5 years. But recently the plastic support crumbled and it became next to impossible to open/close the lid properly

I was quite surprised to find that you guys had the exact same type of damages on the hinge. The photos I’ve found on the forum are uncannily similar to what I have.

The solution for those whose hinges have not yet broken completely, but they are hearing cracking noises, is to disassemble both hinges and loosen the nuts.

I’ve attempted a repair using epoxy, it kind of worked but It looks fragile, it’s creaking a lot so I’m not overly happy with the result. I’ll try to loosen the nuts and I’ll tell you if it helps.
