Case and hinge damage will not usually affect the operation of the
laptop but looks awful. Although, broken hinge, may result in a cracked screen if
the lid is not opened/closed very carefully. Often one side of the hinge is bonded
to part of the plastic case so replacement of one or both hinges may require
changing part of the plastic case. Some makes of laptop always seem to show exactly
the same case cracks even during normal use, so replacement cases in these
instances may not be sensible. Typical case/hinge repairs cost £20 - £150 but often
the replacement parts are impossible to obtain.
