Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have a HP 17-bs062st here in my shop that was dropped and the left hinge is broken.  I have new replacement hinges here and the laptop apart.  I don't want to do anything that could damage the working of the display etc, so want to make sure I remove things properly.  I have the Maintenance and repair guide, but it does not discuss how to remove and replace the hinges.  Will you please provide me with correct instructions and/or a video tutorial?  Thank you!

I am replying to my own post to clarify further work.  I have replaced the hinge, and now need to get the laptop back together successfully.  I am having trouble finding a schematic or clear picture showing how the white plastic cable guide fits back on under the hinge to put the bottom cover back on.  Please?  HP has been absolutely 0 help.  They want to replace parts, which I've already installed, and will not give me any clear picture/schematic to show how these components fit back together.  I have the maintenance guide, and the best pic I can find is on page 58 for replacement of the fan.  I believe this white plastic guide fits up right next to the fan, but it's not seating correctly or clear how it's secured there, so any help would be appreciated.  Thank you!
