HP Recommended

I have a HP 17" laptop that the hinges have completely seized up causing breakage to the top and lower parts of the laptop case and now the inner screws have come out also. Does anyone know if there is a way to fix the hinges so they will open and close again? My laptop is no longer in warranty as I purchased it online from someone through Amazon. I have tried reaching out to HP but have not had any success with receiving any help. I do not have$300-$1,000 to pay HP  plus the cost of shipping it to them to fix it. So I am hoping that someone will be able to give me some guidance on repairing it myself or at least getting the hinges free so they will open and close without breaking anything. Any guidance will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
