I dropped the laptop within a backpack a while back and a decent-sized chunk of the left hinge broke off, such that the metallic interior could be seen. I used some duck tape as a temporary solution, any advice on how to properly fix this?
Is this a good question?

Can I get a picture of the damage ?

Based on what I can see, if the hinges are working fine, just use some JB plastic bonder and call it a day
@alenortiz The hinge itself still works, yes, but I realize now I did not specify that I had lost the plastic piece that broke off as well- can the plastic bonder be used to "reconstruct" the missing piece via careful layering? Thank you for your help
@name23891 the JB plastic bonder is perfect for that

I went ahead and added your photo to your question. Yeah, you're right that iFixit doesn't let you add pictures to comments.
