@Bitcoin_Arena, @GSpgh
Thanks for the updates.

@aplistir
I took a look at the video, it seems quite interesting although I don't feel comfortable doing such repairs myself. My dad is very handy with tools so I will show it to him and see what we can come up with.

Thank you.

palm rest or palm rest cover sounds about right, if that part is like it looks - one piece from where where palm rests (duh) to the hinge, otherwise the hinge part might be called hinge cover

bottom cover as Bitcoin_Arena said can have some variations but usually it's quite obvious

I kinda doubt both parts are broken though... usually it's the one that has the screw heads or the plastic tabs might need to be replaced... you can even get away without a few screws or tabs...

disassemble, clean out any loose pieces of plastic and screws, try to snap back together

you can try googling fujitsu service manual, or repair instructions

You don't need any spare parts. Here is a video showing how to repair laptop hinges.

I repaired mine this way and it looks ok and works Wink

and cost about 2$

The guy who is supposed to do the repairs told me I need two parts. The entire front panel that I believe is called a Palm Rest and the bottom panel which should be the Bottom Case.

Are those the proper names of the parts?

If the damage is only on the casing then i believe you are right about the parts you are looking for.

The names vary from;
- Bottom case cover
- Bottom housing
- Bottom base
- Bottom base case
- Bottom panel... for the bottom case

And;
- Palm rest top case
- Palm rest keyboard bezel
- Top cover housing etc.. for the top part depending on which where you are looking the parts up.

One old Fujitsu laptop has sustained some physical damage and I am trying to figure out the exact names of the spare parts that I need to order.
Here is a picture of the damage. Maybe someone with good English can tell me the exact name/names of the parts that I need to order.

When I flip it open that upper cover gets separated on the top right corner.
