My laptop has a hole. Can I continue to use it until the spare part arrives?

As long as you don't pour any liquids into it, that's absolutely no problem.

(Whatever you got it done.)

Sure, you can. Just make sure that no objects or moisture get through the hole.

If it still starts and runs, you can still use it.

And what kind of spare part? Just stick panzertape over it.

My uncle sent it to me by post and then it broke during transport:-)

Ahh ok, thanks.
