Can I fix the hinges without replacing the screen?

Text:

Hi

When you open this laptop, the screen flops backwards and must be propped against something to use it. Apart from that it is fine and there is nothing wrong with the display itself. The picture is great.

Is it possible to repair just the hinges? I don't think it's an economic repair if I need to buy the whole display assembly,

Thanks
