so if it’s the case with your laptop , simply open it up carefully, make sure you don’t put pressure on hinges otherwise you may break something else, once you get apart your laptop, take out the motherboard, and power cord , USB ports etc, your bottom case should be empty, now turn on the hot air gun

one you have the small plastic pieces , put it on that place where the hinges bases are broker and start to heat with hot air gun, make sure you don’t melt other parts of the body, as i did, so be careful, better way should be, that you melt the plastic outside of body and then place it on those spots where the screws will be seated , once you place the melted plastic on body give it same shape with help of some stick, to hold bolts,
then carefully seat the bolts onto that plastic and push them with heat rod / iron rod , untill they are properly seated and then let is cool down,now place hinges on these holes, if the fit perfectly , then drop some thick adhesive on the sides of these bases so the plastic don’t break when you tight the screws.
thats It,
