Hi. I bought a pavilion dv6 6b55eg last year and now the optical drive's ,,coverplate" on the side is moving, like its tab is broken in it. Can I order a new one or can I fix it somehow?
Thank you for your answers.

The Maintenance & Service guide for your laptop model series(for parts reference)
https://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03015537.pdf
See Chapter 3, page 28
You can secure the bezel with some type of adhesive.
For future reference that part is called a bezel, not a "coverplate".
I had to read it twice to figure out what you meant.
That is a part that is delivered with a completed laptop and is not sold separately
If you replaced the optical drive, you would need to install the bezel from the laptop to the new Optical disk drive to keep the original esthetic of the laptop.
