Will Acer repair my hinge problem? I tried to file a claim thru Square Trade, but they denied it with a  very flimsy and invalid excuse. The tablet is less than 2 years old.

    No, those hinges are consider wear and tear. There are a couple of things you can take into consideration when you fix it: make sure to use something like a good epoxy to rebuild the mounts if the plastic has broken loose and if the hinges uses a screw for the pivot use a thread adhesive like Loctite to keep it from tightening up as you use it. If you give us your full model number we can look up the part number for your hinge.
