Help with bent lid corner

[Isaac_R]

I fell off of my bike this morning on the way to college, luckily my Laptop 16 survived however the corner of the lid is bent meaning it doesn’t shut properly. The screen works fine and the nothing else is damaged, just bent aluminium. The main body is also slightly bent meaning the latch to unlock the mouse pad and panels has a bit or resistance. It works though which is good. I would like to avoid buying a new chassis if possible. My current idea for the lid is to just bend it back with pliers, I don’t think I can make it any worse, but I thought I would get some other opinions before I do anything.

Thanks!

Edit: I’ve checked inside to make sure no components are damaged, everything looks good!

Elsewhere on this forum is at least one (possibly two) thread that describes the analog of where you are now and what was subsequently done to mitigate. The one I’m thinking of was probably a FW13. See what your search-fu can turn up.
