That Tuesday I fixed 14 identical broken laptop hinges from the same school district.
The whole batch had the exact same plastic mounting post sheared off, which made me wonder if there's a specific model year of Chromebook we should all be stocking that replacement part for now.

Fourteen identical breaks in one day is wild lol.

Honestly, fourteen hinges from one district points to a bigger design flaw, not just bad luck. Brookes37 has the right idea about the volume being crazy, but it's the pattern that gets me. We saw the same thing with the Dell 3180s a few years back. A specific weak point fails under normal use, and then you get a tidal wave of identical repairs. This feels like that. Some engineer saved three cents on plastic and doomed an entire model year.
