Hey guys, the hinge of my early 2015 MBP is breaking at the left side because its loose and you can “wobble” the display around for like 3 cm front to back, i found a repair guide that “would suit” my problem but i wanted to ask where i can get the screen hinge without the screen or is there no possibility? Why i ask this here is because i hope there will be maybe some others with my problem who could tell me how the hinge is working or how its build because then i can maybe fix this for myself, the problem is there is no image of the 2015 hinge, just 2010 to 2014… why?

Apple uses a hollow hinge design so the wires feed through them. Review these two images:
So replacing the hinge also involves replacing the wires feeding through. Here’s the cables: Right - iSight WiFi Camera Cable Hinge - P/N 818-2781Left - LCD Screen Display Hinge Ribbon Cable - P/N 818-2882 Follow this IFIXIT guide to get the display assembly off: MacBook Pro 13" Retina Display Early 2015 Display Assembly Replacement, then review this guide to take the cover glass off MacBook Pro 13" Unibody Mid 2009 LCD Replacement Jump to Step15 while not quite the same, the process is. You only need to do this if the right side hinge needs replacing. Popping off the Clutch cover does allow you enough room to disconnect the display cable so you don’t need to pull the glass in that case. If you think you only need to tighten the screws on the display side of the hinges popping off the clutch cover also gains you access to the screws as well.
