Never trust a kid with a laptop

One of my frequent customers just dropped off a laptop that he purchased for his nephew.  This is the second time that I had to work on it since I sold it to him a couple of months ago.  The first repair was not even a repair, he simply crushed the pin inside the AC Adapter.  Simple fix, gone.  Now this one is more interesting.  He actually snapped the steel hinges that holds the LCD screen to the base of the laptop.  This is a first for me.  I'm trying to figure out how he could snap the steel hinges, yet the rest of the laptop is still in working condition, relatively undamaged.  The screen works, the laptop boots and operates, yet the screen is only attached to the base by the LCD cable that sends the picture from the base to the screen.  Hmmm.
