Laptop hinge ripped out- is this repairable or do I need a new lid?

This is dell latitude 3420

It's been 3 years since I started using it.

Recently there has been a lot of sound from this left side of the hinge but i ignored it, when i investigated nothing unusual had happened

Today when i opened the laptop the whole lid came out 💀

The screen is still working fine but i am afraid to do anything now

If someone knows what could be done to please help!

Update: it's almost functional now thanks for the replies guys :)

2026 vs 2025

I am pretty sure 2026 is going to have much better marks vs rank than 2025

Just look at the data, these are the candidates in between these marks range in 2025 compared to the latest mthongo data.

top scorers 180+ are taken from cracku data

Clearly the data shows that most people above 180 have low accuracy and have fallen in 150-180 zone compared to 2025, which shows 2026 was harder on accuracy.
