my sister had a same problem with her dell laptop, one hinge for the screen broke when some d*ckhead security guard 'accidently' dropped her laptop whilst going thru security at the airport.

In short it was going to be wayyy to much time/money/effort to get it replaced + no way to pin it on the bloke. But i'd look around at 2nd hand computer stores to see if theres an equivalent or the same model you could nick parts off...

Or just buy a mac book, wont need to replace it for a decade
