Is the panel+bezel+other bits and pieces are one FRU so you can't get just the broken bits.
I'm sure you've figured out this but didn't know why.
OK, my brother broke a hinge and since the laptop was years old we only wanted to get more time from it and did not care if we rendered it impossible to repair again later. To that end I opened it up enough to put in some metal pieces to act as a splint to reinforce the area then used that foam glue Gorilla Glue to fill it in. Then I sanded the area down and repeated that a few more times.
Since the color was terrible I put the laptop inside a plastic baggy then cut out the area I wanted to paint. A little tape work to expose just the area I wanted to paint and then to the garage and a tarp. I used that Krylon Plastic Paint spray and put on about 3 or 4 thin layers and let it dry over night.
Pulled the tape and removed it from the bag and the glue+splints+paint job is still working a year later.
Sadly a few want me to write a step by step but it's more art than procedure.
Final cost? About 20 bucks for glue and paint (tops.)

My relatively new HP Pavilion dm4 1065-dx, for some reason, has a broken hinge. That sounded like a minor problem, till I found out that it wasn't. The hinge, which is totally busted, although it still opens and closes, is bending the bezel, as well, and I was informed by a Best Buy associate that it would cost me several hundred dollars to have them replace the bezel and the hinge, because it would involve replacing the screen, as well. Any ideas? I don't want to have to hook up an external monitor.
If somebody could just find the bezel, or a place that could replace it, I would be perfectly fine removing the screen from the bezel and putting it in a new bezel.
