Hello,

 

My HP laptop's hinge is broken on both sides. It is loose between the top plate and the bottom plate of the bottom of the laptop. I can still use it, but the laptop is a bit open on both sides when i use it. The screen also wobbles a lot when using. I have brought it to a repair centre (not HP) and they could not really fix it, except for completely replacing big parts of the laptop, which would cost a lot of money. The repair centre guy also told me this is a problem with more HP laptops of this kind, and that I should send a message to HP because they should fix this problem if it is this common - even out of warranty.

The laptop is out of warranty, but it was a very expensive laptop and I would expect the hardware to last longer than 2 years.

I hope you can help me.

Kind regards,

Niels
