Bottom cover widened and disconnected at one corner

[attosec]

The bottom cover widened at one corner adjustment to the power button. Some of the parts related to the hinge appeared to be broken inside the cover.  Unable to close the top screen.    My computer is out of warranty by a year,   How to fix this issue?  Should I replace the bottom cover?   How much does it cost?
