MintyPi Lite hinge is flimsy

Post by Nickelbrek » Wed Nov 25, 2020 12:28 pm

Everything works great on my MintyPi Lite but the hinge doesn't lock into place and that's even after trying to line it up properly just like in the build guide. I'm wondering what I can do to make it sturdy as tilting it slightly towards me causes it to close? I should also mention that the bezel pops out a lot because it the screen is a little too big and the bezel doesn't pop in all of the way with the screen.

I actually bought it from the store, however, I fixed it by wrapping some electrical tape around the hinge and it stays firm now.
