One of the hinges on the base of my laptop clicks out every time I open the laptop. The extent to which is clicks out has worsened since this problem started. 

I have 4 months left on the 1 year warranty, how do I fix this? Can it be done without HP taking my laptop away for a long period of time?

1.  I have 4 months left on the 1 year warranty, how do I fix this?

1.  The only way to know what HP will do is to submit a case to HP Support.

 

Opinion

2.  If HP will repair the device -- then yes, you have to send the computer to HP and the repair will take some time.

Hi @joneskkk,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community.  

 

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.   

 

Have a great day!
