Hi. I accidentally dropped my laptop an Inspiron 15R 5537. There was no apparent damage at first but then I noticed that the plastic cover on the right hinge came off completely. The laptop still works fine and the hinge is exposed but not damaged. I would like to know around how much it would cost to replace the hinge cover and if it is fine to use the laptop with the hinge exposed?

There is probably no problem using the laptop with the hinge exposed, although that might lead to further complications down the road if the damage worsens. For any kind of price estimates, you're probably better off speaking to a local repair shop or calling Dell customer service directly.
