reattaching hinge to cupboard?

The hinge has come off my cupboard. This is a cupboard (white laminate) that has a corner hinge to allow it to bend with a smaller connecting cupboard. The problem is that I can`t seem to screw the existing screws into the back of the cupboard because the material is hard and the previous holes that were there I filled with wood filler but the screws keep opening up the former holes. What should I do?

If they are normal pointed wood screws you will have to drill a pilot hole in first,a 2.5 or 3mm drill bit will do it,if they are usual kitchen hinge screws, parallel with a flat bottom on them, you will have to drill a hole with a 5 or 6mm drill bit.
