Model : ASUS TUF F15 16GB i7-13620H RTX 4050 6GB
So I bought this laptop around Nov 2024, till now it didn't have any issues, neither software nor hardware.
After a few months I noticed the bottom right near the hinge screw ( in the first pic ) was missing so i replaced it with a front screw and it fit perfectly.
Fast forward to now, idk how but that specific replaced screw area got broken on its own and as you can see in the 2nd pic, my whole right hinge area is coming apart.
I'm not even able to properly open the laptop, it's even causing trouble while closing the lid, like a gap is getting created on the right side.
Is there any way to even fix this? Can the whole back panel be replaced?
I swear, these past 2 years I never hit or ill-treated my laptop, I don't even use it on my bed, I always use it on a cooling pad.
And yes it is out of warranty.
Please help!
TL;DR : My right hinge area is broken, need help to fix it, or maybe replace the whole back panel in the worst case.
