Hi, i have had this laptop for quite a while now and is well out of warranty but my hinge is now at the point where i have to very gently close it for fear of breaking the screen off. it is mainly the right hinge but the left is showing signs of this also. could you please advise what you or indeed i can do about this as this was obviously a design fault that was never really acted on.

 

Regards

 

Gerald

Hi, the right hinge on my HP Envy M6 has broken and is threatening to destroy the fascia around the rest of the screen. It is now almost impossible to close the laptop! It seems that this is a common fault on these laptops, please could you recommend how to get this repaired?!

 

Thanks,

Rhys
