HP ENVY TouchSmart 17t-j100
Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

When I open/close the laptop I feel the left back side shifting.  It looks like the hinge is shifting and then separating part of the upper case from the lower case.   I can push the pieces back in place but the next time I open/close the case the same thing happens. 

 

 I received the laptop in April 2014.  What steps do I need to take to get this repaired under warranty. 

 

This is a HP ENVY 17t Quad TouchSmart Product number: E2E11AV.

 

Thanks!!

Thanks for the quick reply.  I did see a similar problem and contacted HP Support via links I found.  I have arranged for the laptop to be repaired.

I shipped the laptop back today; however, I didn't correctly read the instructions.  I saw a part on where to put the power cord/brick for shipment but didn't notice initially that that part of the instructions was for devices which wouldn't power on.  Will I have any problems getting my power cord/brick back when the laptop is returned to me?  Thanks.

Thanks HP!!!  THings went pretty quickly.  I was contacted last week, received a box to ship the laptop back on Friday, shipped it Frida, got a message saying it was received on Monday, another message saying it was repaired Tuesday (yesterday), and had the laptop back today (including the power brick/cable I mistakingly sent).  Everything seems to be working fine.  Thanks for the expeditious service.

Hello Omar-E 

I have the same issue with my HP ENVY 17t Quad TouchSmart laptop. I really need to talk with someone about the details of my situation. Could you or someone else help?

 

Thank you.
