Broken hinges, cost to repair?

I accidentally dropped my laptop and the hinges broke. How much is it to fix it?

Figure on $100 for labor and whatever the parts cost -- which could be as little as under $50  for the hinges to several hundred dollars for a screen if it's a touch model with a high resolution display.  You would need to contact Dell or a repair shop for an estimate but they'll need to evaluate the system to do so.

Is there anyway to get an estimate from Dell or any other authorized company online? Just came out while opening it.

Use the link above to have Dell prepare an estimate, or take the system to a repair shop for the same.  The cost will depend on what's broken -- though the hinges and plastics are inexpensive, there can be significant labor involved.

@Dominor​ exactly same thing happened. Mine got popped out while trying to close/fold. Laptop was bought this year. System warranty is still there however, dell refuse to acknowledge the faulty part. It is manufacturer defect I can clear feel. No hinge should pop up like this simply while trying to open/close the screen. This cause made me to doubt on dell product after this. i am looking for repair now for the laptop I paid $900 this Jan.

The hinge on my laptop also just broke. No warning at all. It was not dropped or mishandled at all. It just snapped. Just got off the line with Dell support and of course, they say this is not covered under the warranty. Based on the comments above, this does not sound like a random thing.
