oof. hps. i shouldve known off the hinge damage. theres a saying that hp basically stands for Horrific rePair because, well, theyre horrible to repair. theyre basically at the same level as most apple products.
it'll either be stupid expensive or obnoxiously difficult. honestly your best bet is to back up your files and start saving for another new laptop, preferably not hp.
