Hello HP Support Team,
I need assistance regarding my HP laptop. The panel near the screen hinge has a small gap, possibly caused due to slight glue application near the hinge area earlier. The screen is working fine, but I’m worried this gap might get worse over time or affect the hinge or display.
Can you please:
1. Tell me if this gap needs to be fixed urgently?
2. Estimate the repair cost, including any service or part replacement, if needed?
3. Confirm whether this repair can be done at home by a SmartFriend technician or I should visit a service center?
I would prefer to fix this early before it causes more damage. Kindly suggest the best option.
Thank you.
