 My Nitro AN515-52 fell off from my bed. I suddenly catch it but not have full control of it that's why the right side of the hinge absorbs most of the impact. There is no crack but I can see a little inside of the hinge. I have no budget of repairing, I am just asking a recommendation on what not to do to make the problem worse.  System Model Nitro AN515-52

    What do you mean “There is no crack but I can see a little inside of the hinge” so the hinge got bent? Can you open and close the top of the laptop without force? Because if you can? Then you have to open the laptop and either glue the crack of the plastic and/or see exactly what has been damaged with that part of the hinge and replace it with a new hinge. A new Nitro AN515-52 hinge set is about US $16.75 plus postage and you have to take the top cover apart and change the hinge (see caption below of the hinge set and the right hinge) of the Nitro AN515-52, simple.
