Tip of the day: You can order replacement parts cheap from EBay or AliExpress and there are service manuals and instructions and even videos for plenty of common computers.
It may sound scary but it is really not that difficult. It's mostly finding all the screws and knowing what order to pick everything apart and put it back again.
Bonus Tip: get one (or 5 haha) of those little magnetic trays from harbor freight to put your screws in. They are a godsend if you're like me constantly losing shit.
