Broken left hinge and corner

[Andrew141]

Hello everyone, I have an HP laptop that has cracked on the upper left corner. The hinge has also broken and I have to leave the lid open. I have not dropped the laptop and it seems that other people have posted this same issue. What can be done if it is not under warranty. This really sounds like a product defect.

Hi @Andrew141,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.  

As this is a hardware issue, I'd suggest you contact HP in your region regarding the service options for your computer. 

If you are having trouble navigating through the above options, it's most likely because the device is out of warranty.

I have yet to hear from anyone, how long does it take to hear back from someone?

I have the exact same issue but the response HP gives is that it is out of warranty and they will repair for $300!!  That is unacceptable!!  This is clearly a design/manufacturing flaw HP is aware of and won't stand by their product? This is a terrible way to handle your business and customers. I'm hoping to get in contact with some one who cares at HP.  Anyone have more success with this issue?
