Ciourte PiailleFor years I've postponed fixing the shell of my #librem13, thinking I must have not been gentle enough of this premium #laptop.
I was not ready to part with it for some time and pay to send it to #purism across an ocean…
Finally, I recreated with solder and a drill the hole that a screw had gone through. Not beautiful but good enough.
But then I found out, that most screws of the laptop are actually screwed in a cheap plastic that broke in many places, leaving them hanging freely. The outside of the hinge, made of the same plastic is also cracked in two places.
So, now I don't see any way to fix it, and I now feel like I've been played by @purism.
