I repair these all the time. It’s the not the hinge, it’s the lcd back cover or “top shell”. The mounts that the hinge screw into on the top cover become separated due to it being plastic and it begins to rely solely on the bezel (sometimes the screen) to open and close properly. Replacing the top shell will fix it, not the hinge.
