Your hinges are actually fine, so replacing them won’t fix the problem. It’s the screw bosses that the hinge screws screw into that have come free from the bottom case. Many laptops that have a plastic chassis have this problem. Lenovo advertised this laptop as having “reinforced hinges”, but there is no reinforcement to be found inside. Interesting![br]

You can try using epoxy to repair the mounts in which the screw bosses reside, but I suggest getting a new bottom case.
