Laptop case broken, coming apart at the hinges.

[PatK12321]

I have a laptop out of warranty and it is coming apart at the hinges from a corner. The laptop works fine. Can the case be fixed? Am I out of luck and have to buy a new one?

It can be fixed.  I have repaired several HP laptops with broken cases/hinges etc....

Would you just take it to a repair place and ask them to fix the broken hinge? Any kind of ballpark price of what that could cost?

It depends on the model and severity of the damage.  They probably wouldn't know what to quote you until they saw the laptop.

What is the HP model?
