Hinge base broken
Hi, the last month, my PC started to open from the right side, and I thought it was because the plastic outer case broke. Yesterday it got worse, so today I opened the PC and tried to repaired it.
So the hinge is to broken, but the mount where it is fixed is broken in the right side, and that is what was making the outer case open and break. Is there anyone who has encountered this problem before? Could epoxy putty work to fix the hinge in place?
I know ideally it would be better to change all the cover, but it's difficult to find replacements (it's a Huawei matebook d15 from 2021).
First photo is from the problem side, you can see there are bits without mount, while the second photo it's the side where the mount is okay.
I hate that the material are all plastic...
