Product: HP 11a G8 EE
Operating System: Chrome OS

Has anyone else been having problems with the hinges falling apart on the HP 11 G8 EE? We got about 30 or so of this that the hinges are being destroyed. Some from a shortfall or just opening and closing too many times. The plastic that holds the screws for the hinge is very weak and breaks off. I am seeing more and more of this when replacing broken screens I see a few screws on one or both sides of the hinge broke off. Maybe this is a manufacturing problem and something is wrong with the hinges as they are not holding up after a year and a half. We have had no problems with this on the HP 11a G6 EE. So far if I can get away with it I have been using super glue to hold the hinge in place.
