My MacBook Pro 13” model number A1425 has a display that’s able to bend all the way back with the keyboard and display aligned. The display works perfectly and if I tilt the screen on a certain angle it will fall back slightly as well. I was wondering if this is what I need to fix it and if I just need one or two?
Is this a good question?

Here’s a video of the issue, both hinges are completely split down the middle and I’m being told I have to buy a completely new display which could range from 300-500 dollars...
@Nickuhhh - Sadly your vid shows a fair amount of damage. The hinge is clearly cracked, I'm suspecting you banged the system cracking the clutch cover and the impact did in the hinge. Its also possible your display and other elements within the lid got damaged as well.
So the bottom line, it's likely best to replace the full lid assembly that trying to fix yours.
