The hinge on my laptop has broken after nothing more than simple at home use after less than a year after purchasing. When opening it made a clicking noise and just popped. Not only has this happened to once but also twice to two laptops purchased by my family. These laptops have not been dropped or mistreated in any way.  After consulting with others, I am under the impression that this is a manufacturing issue. The laptop is not unable to open and close without tape being around it, so any help or advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks
