Question Broken Hinge, Lenovo Edge 15

[Lyngal]

The plastic on left side hinge broke apart (couldn't download picture). Super glue did not work. How can I repair this?

Thanks, but I tried that website for parts. It's model 80K9. Not sure if this worked via imgur:

You could try a stronger adhesive (like epoxy), or just live with the defect. It doesn't appear to prevent the laptop from working normally otherwise, just cosmetic. Can you open/close the screen properly?

Thank you for your response. So far I can open/close screen. But the crack is working it's way up the side of the screen (the frame); so when I open/close I manually try to hold the hinge together.

The hinges take a lot of stress, once they crack there is almost no way to get them repaired past replacing the shell around them.
