    Hi, I have an ASUS ASUS Z70V Refresh laptop recently a hinge came off...no big deal I simply pushed it back in but now when I lifted off up the screen to open the laptop it seems to be splitting apart at the seam that runs from the top to the bottom at the bottom right corner.

    Sideways view of screen

    : : <---- seam splits apart and corner lifts off hinge
    :

    In addition the lower right corner of the screen seems to be lifting off the hinge...when I tried looking in side the metal tab of the hinge seemed to be bent but I couldn't tell for sure.
    Two screws came out...one was the rubber tipped screw from the front of the screen and the other is a smaller one which I don't know where it came from.




    anyway i can remove the screen to fix this and see what really is wrong?
