You are to contact Acer with the issue. If they've written down your comment on the tight operations then (perhaps) you're in luck to get it replaced as per warranty.
here is a Ebay listing for laptop hinges for the 9400 series http://cgi.ebay.com/ACER-Aspire-9300-9400-9520-laptop-17-LCD-screen-hinges_W0QQitemZ120549686747QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item1c11523ddb
You will have to install them or find a person who is handy with disassembling laptops. 1. You will have to remove the cover of the LCD screen and then you will see the hinge support assembly.
Here is a site that may assist you with the taking apart and assembly http://www.insidemylaptop.com/fix-broken-dell-laptop-hinges-yourself/
this one has free shipping and all that fun stuff. 80 USD is better than 100 quid. You can do it yourself with a screwdriver, it takes about 20 minutes
It depends if you can prove that the failure isent caused by you. if you can do that Acer will replace it.
Contact Acer and tell them your story. Here in Europe Acers custumer suport is good, dont know how the are in US.
What does work is this- Superglue the cracked lid as you WILL have one of these if you are reading this post- dont rush, I did about 10 glue applications over a few days to let it set correctly. Next remove the offending hinges. You will see to spring/pressed steel curves in the body of the hinge, Next hack saw one (the outer is easier to get to) of these off, this frees the hinge up very well. Worked for me so give it a try
