I dropped my laptop and it still works perfectly, but the screen cant budge from 90 degrees without it splittig open. What is the recommended fix? Full screen change? Or can I somehow just change its frame?

Replace the LCD back cover.

I could also just keep using it in 90 degree opened without touching it. I use an external monitor anyway, so I don't really need the screen.

Just sucks that now the portability became total shit

put this back where it belongs.

The hinges on my lenovo broke. I bought new hinges+back cover it broke again because the hinges got very stiff after a while for some reason. Had to readjust the tightness and just hot glued that shit back together.

Not worth the effort to buy new hinges and "do it properly" desu. Hinges on laptops fucking suck.

Expoxy might work in the short term but it will eventually break again and the epoxy will still be there in addition to the existing damage. Ultimately there's no solution but to replace that part of the case. It's not usually too hard to find laptop shells on ebay but make sure it's an EXACT match for yours, otherwise shit won't align.

Drop it the opposite way

No, hinges on Lenovo Shitpads fucking suck.
Next time buy a Framework.

Yes. Get new adhesive for the LCD sticker too or a new one

Hotglue, unironically

I decided to go with this solution. Pretend its a desktop and never move it again. Problem solved
