So I’m pretty lucky, I’ve had this laptop since 2018 and it’s still working pretty well and pretty high speed even though I don’t clean up my hard drive at all and stopped running antivirus because my pirated copy of Emsisoft (was the best anti-virus a few years ago, no idea how if fares now). If you can get one used and want a light laptop, these things are fantastic. The slimmest and lightest laptop I knew back then with both upgradable RAM and SSD. If I ever have to buy a “new” laptop, I’ll probably just get a used/refurbished LG gram, I absolutely love this thing.

However, recently, The hinge has popped out of it's casing. I tried just shoving it back in there, but that metal tab on the back doesn’t seem to have any way of fitting inside of the hinge casing. A couple screws fell out with it though (specifically the one under the rubber foot that is by the hinge), so I hypothesize that those screws were keeping this piece that moves with the hinge locked into place inside the laptop. I want to get the hinge back in its casing, but didn’t have a small enough screwdriver when the screws fell out so they’re just lost now because it’s been at least a month of this. I want to just order more screws and try to get this fixed, but have no idea where to start because I can’t even find anything on this issue. I’m pretty knowledgeable, but don’t want to start just fucking around with it without just asking if anybody knows anything about it. I still have to order a super small screwdriver for it anyways because they were too small for my glasses repair kit. At least they were phillipshead and not torx or something stupid like that
