I've got a Macbook which has been dropped, it's a 2007 model. The display assembly is now off centre and does not close properly. Looking inside, the right hinge has been bent upwards by the drop.

How can I fix this myself? At the moment I'm thinking I'll try to bend the hinge back into place.

Photos below.
View of laptop with closed lid, you can see it is off centre:

Laptop open with top case removed, you can see that the right hinge has been bent upwards.
