My ASUS VivoBook X515EA (11th Gen Intel Core i3) has a serious hinge/body crack issue near the display corner.

A technician previously tightened the hinge screw, but the plastic/body around the hinge cracked again and now the screw mount is breaking apart. The screen tilts/slants easily and doesn’t stay properly aligned.

Also, most of the keyboard keys are no longer working, and I was told the entire keyboard may need replacement.

So now it may need:

Hinge replacement/repair

Body/top panel replacement

Full keyboard replacement

Is this worth repairing or should I replace the laptop instead?

Any idea about approximate repair cost?
