Sorry if this isn't in the appropriate category, but I'm panicking because my laptop screen wouldn't close. I assume the hinge broke or something. If I tried to close the lid there's a lot of cracking/clicking sounds and the rear cover (behind the screen) starts to snap open. The screen looks a little misaligned. The left side is okay so I was comparing the two hinges, there's definitely something wrong there.

It's a Lenovo thinkpad E520. The manual doesn't give me much help...

I'm panicking, because this is my only device, and currently there's absolutely no way I can get replacements (they don't stock laptop parts here). I'm going to have to leave the screen open until I can find some help...
