Hi,
Just verifying that it is the hinge that has broken and not the hinge mount in either the display back cover or the base enclosure?
Here’s the maintenance and service guide for the laptop.
I realize that it says for models 13-s000 through 13-s099, which doesn’t include your model number, but it was linked from this webpage so presumably it applies to it as well. Also I can’t find any other guide that mentions model ranges with your model number included
Go to p.41 to view the necessary pre-requisite steps and then the procedure to remove the display assembly. This will give access to the hinges.
If the hinges are faulty then on p.18 item #2 you will find the part number for the hinge kit. If you search online using only the part number you will get results for suppliers.
If the problem is actually a broken hinge mount in the display back cover the part number is Item #8 on p.19 or if it is the hinge mount on the base enclosure it is item #16 on p.17. To replace the base enclosure you would have to nearly completely dis-assemble the laptop.
Hopefully this is of some help.

Hi thanks for replying, it is the hinge mount that has broken, the screws will not stay in.
The options are then to either replace to base enclosure or the lid cover depending on which mount is broken or to drill through the broken mounts and use a nut and bolt arrangement to hold the hinges in place.
Not the best as far as looks go but definitely cheaper
