Screen breaking apart at the seam - dv9230us

‎02-18-2012 07:32 AM

The screen on my 4-1/2 year old Pavilion (dv9230us) is starting to break apart at the seam.  If I'm looking at the computer it is happening along the bottom left edge - between the hinge and the corner and up the side above the lock mechanism attachment thing.  Little chunks of plastic are falling out - for example, there is a plastic 'button' down there that has broken apart and come out.

 

Is this a design flaw?  Did I get a lemon?  Seems like this shouldn't be happening.  What can be done about it?

 

Thanks for any ideas.

I have a DV2500t CTO with the exact same issue in the exact same location!!!  I'm trying to figure out how to fix it myself.

I have a Pavilion 2500 as well and I too am having the exact same issue. I won't close it for fear that it will kill the screen.
