Can my computer be fixed

My laptop has developed a crack/separation near the hinge corner. The outer chassis/plastic housing around the hinge is splitting open, and the cracked section flexes/moves whenever I open or close the lid. The hinge still works, but it seems like the internal hinge mount or screw posts may be pulling away from the casing.

The screen itself still works fine and the hinge hasn’t completely broken off, but the damage appears to be structural rather than cosmetic. It looks like stress from the hinge is causing the housing to separate further over time.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Out of experience, you can use a hot glue gun to glue the hinge back to the frame and then a little on top to seal it.

If you want it flat like it was in the beginning you just heat up the glued hinge and press it flat. Of course be very careful you don't hot glue the screen.

i fixed a few laptops like this and it never failed as far.
