I have same problem with 1318 and just relized today that there were to small little screws missing on right side hinge. screen was very loose and would easily fall backwards . i managed to find sum in a junk draw and put them in as good as i could and its feels like new again. i plan on getting correct screws online or from hardware store but its good for now
Follow the instructions given in the below link to Repalce Central Hinge cover

Dell is clearly the only contact that would carry a replacement for the hinge. I have checked all over and can only find the Center Console Cover
Here are a list of suppliers of laptop parts, you maybe able to get a hinge from one of them.
