Laptop hinges protruding through the plastic casing and separating the top & bottom of the laptop's base. The casing is braking & separating which exposes the electronics as well.
HP Laptop 17t.
This is my second go around with this dilemma on this laptop. It took 2+months to get it back the first time, I have treated this unit with tender loving care. Yet this cheaply made casing will crack and separate no matter how carefully it is cared for.
I am connecting in hopes of resolution & repair to this problem. I've had other brands of laptops in my long tenure and have never experienced this type of a defective product. The only reason I departed with my last DELL was after 8 years of it's quality workmanship, the software compatibility expired. PLEASE HELP!!
