    We are a school with 400 C740 chromebooks and have also experienced a large number of broken hinges.  I have tried putting together parts from other machines that have had other issues, but it is not any easy task, you basically have to strip down and take apart both machines and then reassemble the parts, including all the little wires that go everywhere.

    Hi bugfixr,

    We are very sorry to see that you're having issues with your Chromebooks (broken hinges). 
    Can you please reply to my PM sent with the requested information so I can take a look into this for you?

    Thanks,

    I just watched a video about the Acer 11 C740 that was made in July, 2016. It said the Acer 11 C740 had been modified and one of the modifications are longer hinge brackets. So, I'm curious, are the problem Acer 11s from before July of 2016. Here's the video if you're interested:
