Product: HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M283fdw

I have a printer, HP ColorLaserJet MFP M283fdw. I've hardly used it but it's out of warranty. The black scanner/automatic feeder plastic lid hinge (has 2 springs in it) broke and and won't stay in place.. It made a loud crack when opening the lid to copy a document. I think a tiny piece of plastic broke off. I'm 80 years old and can't really see it well. Is there a replacement part or some place that will repair the printer? I feel like it's still new. It was a Christmas gift that stayed the box until I could take my Epson 2760 to our cottage. It was really out of warranty before I even set it up. I really like this printer, but I have no idea where or how to get it repaired. It seems a shame to throw away a printer because of a tiny break in the plastic. Plastic always breaks. Please advise. Thanks!

You can get those hinges on eBay, and the replacement is pretty easy for someone that is handy with tools.
