Laptop Hinges Broken

[torger11]

My hinges are broken like all the others I read.  I like HP but will not buy another without these hinges being re-engineered. Did HP fix this issue on the new laptops.

Model of HP Laptopbroken hinge

I've read all the responses on hinges. It's clearly a manufacturer defect.  I am now out of warranty and have no intention of taking the laptop apart and put new defective hinges in.   I basically need to know what models of HP 2 in 1 now have re-engineered hinges, if any.

For the record of those reading this hinge thread,  I have not received any further communication on this from HP. 

I would hope HP would address this.  At least they should re-engineer these hinges and let us know that has occurred.  Otherwise, I cannot buy them going forward.

As we have limited support boundaries in the support community as of now. I would request you to contact our HP Support Engineers and should be able to sort this out. HP provides repair or service options for out of warranty products as well. Hence I encourage you to contact HP support for all warranty service options.
