If it's like my Dell Inspiron, two hidden screws came out at the lower right edge of the screen. I gently preyed up the silver surround, it pops off in several spots. I found the loose screws, one for the hinge itself and the other for the cover (that one was under a rubber cover). I screwed them back with a jeweler's screwdriver and some locktite on the threads. Then I pressed the cover back into place and stuck the rubber cover back on the exposed screw. Took about a half hour from when I started pulling the cover back. Good as new.
