I know I need to order a new top shell to repair the machine. However, I'm worried that if the hinge is too tight, that the same failure will occur again prematurely.
Should I consider trying to replace the hinges on the display too? I'm not even sure that the hinges can be obtained without purchasing a whole display ( which is probably impossible to get at the moment ).
Any advice or experience anyone has with repairing this problem would be appreciated.

Have a look at this thread: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?...structural
I described there, what I have done to my hinges. The mod is still working fine. (However, my display's frame is now starting to develop cracks in the upper portion,
but that is another story).
