I have a dell vostro 5480 ( a touchscreen one) and one of the hinge are split horizontally and it strating split a border of the screen a bit, I've tried to visit my local repair shop but all of them said that because it is a touch screen model so they cannot done any repair without broken the screen itself and the only solution are to replace the whole screen panel and it will come with a new hinge. Does this the only way that can be done? I can lose the touchscreen option if that is going to save my screen rather than replace it whole. By the way, the machine warranty had ended for a long time ago.
@U2CAMEB4ME This is the picture of the broken part, it isn't completely came off just have a big gap and when the screen fold and unfold it widen a bit.
Thanks for the advice and the instructions link, I will look for any loose screws and other damage as well. I'm a newbie at removing a PC so what did I have to remove to get access to that area?

Welcome to the Dell Community @Pond511
Could you take a picture of the damage and post it.
The panel can be replaced but there could be more damage than just that.
