HP Pavillion 14 in . Hinge and screen issue

[NAB007]

My laptop is over 1 year old and came out of warranty. The hinge on right gave away and threatens to release the screen.

Saw on the forum that this is a common issue. Feedback to HP is this seems to be a manufacturing defect which many are facing. Please help with my issue. I'm feeling cheated that HP sold me a laptop with known issue.  Below is link where others faced same issue.

I checked with Currys UK and they mentioned 110 GBP to fix this. I'm feeling cheated by HP. Please help.

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, I did go through the product details and found out this computer is not categorized as a defect. As we have limited support boundaries in the support community as of now.

I am having the exact same issue. However, my screen has cracked. Like many others it is no longer on warranty.

Can you please assist?

What now? I logged in and it detected my machine, however, there is no way to submit a ticket to have your "engineers" sort this out. Please advise what am I supposed to do now.

Did you get an answer yet? I agree that this is a defect based on the many people having the same exact problem. Plus it seems to break about 1 - 2 years which then means it is out of warranty. I hope that HP does the right thing and fixes our machine for free since it is clearly a defect.

Sir/Madam, 

Thanks for your response. I am based in UK. Logged into the link and chose UK as option. It shows the laptop is out of warranty as it over a year since I bought it. What should I do ?

Hi Asmita

I called the number in the link and an agent opened a case. I had to provide a video of the fault. On followup I was directed to service department and they said that since this is out of warranty the cost for repair will be 253 pounds...which they later discounted to 215 GBP. 

This is about half the cost of the laptop and is outrageous.  I feel cheated by HP.
