    you´re talking of the hinges ?
    these can be replaced.you should google for it. what is actually broken, the hinges themselves or the cover of the hinges ?

    first identify what part really is broken, then check the hp manuals how to repair this part. HP has manuals for that.

    after you know you can do it yourself you should watch where to get the spare part cheap.
    Hinges are sold a lot at ebay.
    If you think you can´t do it yourself, better let it someone else do.
