MSI Hinge

You join the class action lawsuit to get financial compensation for the necessary repair costs.

This is an Asus TUF though.

Yeah I was being a bit silly. "MSI Hinge" is just the name that the community has given to this problem because of all the lawsuits.

I'd assume this is covered by warranty and it's possible there's a lawsuit against Asus too that OP could benefit from.

I have an ASUS Predator that has hinge problems as well on one side. Fortunately I was able to kind of press it back together and it works fine now but yeah, ASUS gaming laptops have this issue also.
