HP laptop repair is absurdly long

[Notiorious]

How long does the HP laptop repair take? I sent in my laptop in early December, because one of the hinges broke, and it's been over a month. I don't understand why it's taking so long, and every time I call support, they always say "parts shortage". I don't understand how you can have a parts shortage for over a month. I need my laptop back now for work, and I'm tired of HP's terrible customer service. Why can't this simply just give me a new laptop? Had I known it would take this long, I would have repaired it myself.

As this is a hardware issue, I'd suggest you Contact HP in your region regarding the service options for your computer. 

If you are having trouble navigating through the above options, it's most likely because the device is out of warranty. If yes? please send me a private message with the region you are contacting us from. Check next to your profile Name, you should see a little blue envelope, please click on it.

So, why can't HP send me a replacement laptop since it's taking so long to repair?
