Palmrest Assembly
The Dell XPS 15 series utilizes plastic screw bosses to secure metal hinges to the chassis. Fatigue or impact causes these plastic anchors to fracture, leading to the hinge separating from the base. Replacing the entire palmrest assembly is the only reliable way to provide new, intact mounting points for the display mechanism.

Display Hinge Set (Left and Right)
Friction hinges can seize or become overly stiff due to dust ingress or lubrication breakdown. This increased resistance places excessive stress on the chassis anchors during opening/closing cycles, ultimately leading to the structural failure described by the user.

LCD Back Cover
If the separation occurs at the top of the device rather than the base, the screw anchors within the display's rear housing have failed. This results in the screen 'popping' out of the frame when the hinge is articulated.
