Just as importantly, open & close the screen, or just simply
adjust the screen angle. You'll see that the joint torques that point in
the plastic also. Its a weak point in the design. It definitely *should*
be covered under warranty, as clearly at least 3 of us on this list have
had the exact same break at the same point in the plastic.
