Cannot bend the screen anymore

[Shab-m]

Nothing has happened to my laptop as far as I know, but i noticed that i cant cant bend it anymore and there's a gap between the screen on right corner. As i try to bend it it gets larger and prevent it from bending backwards. I could close but it was tough. I'm worried I might break it if i open it now.

It sounds like the hinge area is failing.

And, yes, if you continue to force the computer open and closed, the problem will likely get worse until the screen pops and the computer stops working.

The fix may be more or less difficult and expensive depending on the exact source and severity of the problem.

Please contact HP Support and / or your local trusted computer repair house.

Recently, HP has seen an increased number of third-party support websites selling HP driver downloads or diagnostic tools. Many of these websites use the HP trademark symbol and claim to be official HP distributors.

If your product supports your operating system, HP offers your driver and software at no additional cost through the HP website.

Use caution when dealing with any website that asks you to pay for HP driver downloads or tools that claim to diagnose your HP products. These websites might not be affiliated with HP in any way.

Do not install BIOS updates from a motherboard manufacturer's website. Only install BIOS updates from HP. Installing BIOS updates from the motherboard manufacturer can prevent the computer from accepting an HP system recovery. This could result in a loss of data.
