DELL INSPIRION 7000 series (2 in 1) hinge issue.
It’s been 16 months since i bought my laptop and i have barely used it. This morning when i tried to open my laptop, there was a cracking sound at the hinge. It broke and started pushing towards the screen. Thankfully the screen did not break and even the touch is working well and fine.
Initially i assumed it was my fault although i had no clue why it happened. On the internet I see hundreds of complaints regarding hinges on the Inspiron series, even the newly bought are facing same issues.
i spent around 1600$ on the laptop and did not expect dell to build it with a low quality hardware.
Im a student and i cant afford repair expenses for no fault of mine.
I request Dell to provide me a solution.

The only solution Dell will provide is a repair estimate. You can also contact a local repair shop for the same.
The other option would be to purchase the required parts (try parts-people.com) and install them yourself -- chances are the parts are under $50 (depending on what's broken). The labor cost will be twice that or more, which you can save.
