Disclosed is a method and apparatus for routing a flex circuit ( 102 ) through a hinge ( 112 ). The device includes a first housing ( 108 ) having electronic circuitry ( 104 ) and a second housing ( 110 ) having electronic circuitry ( 106 ). A hinge coupling the first housing to the second housing wherein the hinge has a barrel wherein the barrel includes a chamber ( 114 ). A flex guide ( 116 ) is positioned in the chamber of the hinge barrel and a flexible circuit routed from the first housing into the hinge barrel and the hinge chamber, into the flex guide such that the flexible circuit engages the flex guide creating a dynamic folding region in the first housing that folds upon itself as a result of rotation of the first housing and the second housing.
