HP ENVY - 17m-ae111dx
Microsoft Windows 11

The laptop was hit on the right hinge side , deforming the upper and lower case.  When opening the laptop, the upper and lower sections separate but can be squeezed together easily.

 

since this damage, there are numerous window openings occurring.  They appear to be browser or file manager, 

 

if you try to close it keeps opening windows making the laptop unusable.

 

is there a replacement cover?
