broken axle on the friction hinge on an older Air, ....I know that picture you posted isnt YOUR specific Mac, since its from this website:

However, replacing the hinges on the Air is relatively easy, ...contact Apple for replacing the hinges on your Air 😊

If out of warranty, it wouldnt be, however if a factory defect, that is possible on your Air. I cannot tell you Apples response to that specific problem.


If it is determined that you "threw" the hinge (which people can and do do) then its damage by user,


otherwise, .....its Apples call


Contact them for appt. and to take a look and give you the news on repair etc.


The hinges themselves are very cheap in cost, its all about labour really. 😊


unless of course your chassis is ALSO damaged.
