If a hinge breaks, that normally happens as part the
lid.
Is it just the chassis that's broken, or did the hinge break as well [and if so: where]?
Get a complete (used) base+chassis here:

That's what I figured.
You ever drop your laptop?
Are all the screws that hold the lid (inside and on the bottom) in place, nothing missing?
