Laptop hinges broken, won't close or open easily

[Bilet]

Over time, the hinges on my laptop have snapped near the base and have detatched from the display panel, making it difficult to open and close the laptop, and sometimes the display panel will fall on either side, causing the hinge bases to stick out. I experienced a similar problem with the right hinge a couple months ago, and had it replaced.

From what I've read, this is a common problem with HP laptops. The laptop is out of warranty, and I don't know if this is something that can be resolved, or if the only solution is to buy a replacement.

I'd be grateful if you can offer any help and suggestions.

Hi@Bilet,

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.

Apologies for all the inconvenience

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, 

I appreciate your efforts to try and resolve the issue. This sounds like hardware related issue with the hinge assembly and in order to fix this issue,  your computer needs to be serviced.  As we have limited support boundaries in the support community as of now. 

I would request you to reach out to our Support and our Support Engineers should be able to check the available service options in order to diagnose the computer physically.  HP Support can be reached by clicking on the following link:  www.hp.com/contacthp/
