I've had the same problem with one of my HP 200LXes. So now I have a spare spring and small parts from a broken hinge. Nothing is visible with the hinge cover.
The most puzzling thing is that there is still a good resistance when I move the screen part, as if there were no break at all!
I have another HP 200LX with the classic crack near the hinge, so I know the difference.

It seems that the plastic used for these machines brittles over time:
