Hi, in recent days I've found the laptop getting tougher to open and then yesterday, the plastic where the hinge screws go into have all broken away so now there's nothing to screw in to. I obviously can't open/close th3 laptop now as it's held by one hinge. Looks like I'm gping to need a new case (palm rest) are these available to purchase? Since this has happened I have learnt that this is a common fault which hugely disappointing in a £1000 laptop. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
