Finally dug into it and https://imgur.com/a/Y5SqnpS The hinge screws are held to the case plastic by these eyelets being embedded in the case plastic. Except these broke free and do nothing. I'm just getting the moveable parts of the hinge moving again on the stationary rod. But this I'm not sure how to fix or fudge.

There are replacement case pieces available like https://pine64.com/product/pinebook-pro-...-keyboard/ I have cracks in both the upper and lower case halves I think so I just put one of these and a screw set in my cart.
Giving up probably on it. With the hinge area apart I turned it right side up and hit the power button. The power LED only lit briefly then went out, battery has a full charge. I could maybe replace the upper case half if I can manage to not break something. I've fixed Dell laptops quite a bit, the parts in this look not so sturdy.
