HP envy x360 m6 convertible
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I bought an HP envy x360 m6 1 year 2 months back.As it is an expensive laptop I took very good care of it.But for my luck the left hinge broken apart two days back.I didn't even put much pressure on my laptop anytime.Now it gives me a feel like the whole screen will come off on the left side.Its really nothing of my fault.I even never dropped it  or done anything to my laptop.Then I googled about the same problem and discovered its really a very common problem with every laptop of this kind from you.I always buys only HP laptops(about 4 as of now) but this thing makes me think about it next time.There is nothing of my fault except a very poor design from you guys.I think you should recall all these laptops.This is unfair.Hope you guys do something about it without escalating it further.

Wow, I just had the same issue after 1 year, 5 months after I purchased it.  The screen is about to come off the hinge, this is ashame.  What can be done about this?

I am having the same issue as this person.  My Envy is working OK, but the screenis starting to separate from the metal casing at the left hinge.   I also take very good care of the Envy, and the main reason I bought this laptop is because it had a metal case and seemed robust.  I think it is out of warranty, but this seems like weak design, and I want to know what HP will do about it.

If I were you, I wouldn't wait around for HP to do anything about this.  They are useless.  They offered to have me send the laptop to wherever and be without for a couple of weeks, and most likely the repair would have been on my dime since it was out of warranty.

 

I ended up bringing the laptop to a small computer repair place in Kingston, NY, and they were able to fix it- I think they snapped it back in and glued it better.   It cost under $100.  They also later fixed the power button, which had gotten stuck in the off position.  All has been good for months now.  But beware of HP's!

 

If you can find a local crew of millenials who run a repair shop, I think that's your best bet.

Hi Danny, 

I too have the exact same issue. 

My laptop 99% of the time is closed on my desk. I open it occasionaly but not very frequently.

I opened it today and heard a click, the screen had popped out on the left hand side near the hinge. What the!

It seems that this *may* be a manufacturing fault from all the posts I have read with respect to this issue.

My HP is only 4 months out of warranty. I honestly havent been rough with it or done anything that might cause this. Certainly nothing to warrant the screen to come apart. I cant believe its broken.
I wonder if HP can repair this since Im not that far out of warranty. It seems unreasonable to me that this should happen after such a short period of time. I'm an IT professional and have worked with many laptops and this is a first for me.

Can you assist me in getting this fixed?

Thanks

Steve.

I have the same exact problem. Bought my

HP envy x360 about a year and a half ago, and the left bottom side of my screen was coming out. I managed with it for the time being and then yesterday, my screen randomly went black and won’t change. This is due to nothing but inexperienced production and is a situation out of my control. I called HP and they offered zero help to me and told me my charges for a fix will be about $400. I will absolutely never buy HP again and I will advise others not to as well. I am a college student and I need a dependable computer in everything I do. HP is NOT it!!!!!
