how do you deal with HP hinge issues? is there any worth in selling the damaged ones?

General question

hi! i have a HP Pavillion 14-ce 3xxx Intel i3, and despite the gentle and loving care ive given it this is the second time the hinges have gone and the bezel popped off in the corners and atp ill just end up spending more money repairing it than getting a better laptop.

Would you guys attempt a self repair? or sell it with the obvious problem?

Im sure the scraps could be of some use to someone (or anyone who wants to refurbish it) but im not sure how much itll sell for with the unfixed hinge issue lol.

its a shame because the laptop itself is so perfect and beautiful in colour and how its built but it has no integrity 💔

thanks!!
