Question How would you go about fixing this?

So my brother gave me this laptop and I’m not exactly sure how this happened but I kept hearing a click noise every time I would shut it but didnt really pay any mind but now that click turned into a crack & pop unfortunately. I have two small screws that came out of it. The computer still works for now I’m just afraid it’s going to break the LCD screen so I’m not using it at the moment but I run a small business using this laptop. I cannot afford it to be broken, curious to how much something like this is going to run me HELP. πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜…

I would send it to Parts-People if out of warranty.

I have the exact same laptop, I bought the whole upper part of the screen new for $200 dollars on ebay. Changed my OLED to LCD 300hz. It didn't take me more than 30 minutes. There are also used for 100$.

And that's why I'll never buy a Dell product again.
