The rear (bottom) panel and hinge got broken on the side of the on/off button on top. Now I can’t get the on/off button to turn the laptop on. The button is not connecting inside. Can I purchase the rear panel and hinges? What is the likelihood that I can repair this myself? It is a Gateway NE56R10u.

@jfrontz chances are pretty good to get this done by yourself. Use something like this video as a guide. The part (if I understood your question right) is available at places like this
