@P2PFlag,
Welcome to HP Forums, this is a great place to get support, find answers and tips.
Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you.
I understand that the lid of the flatbed scanner does not close properly.
This could be a hardware issue with the scanner lid.
Hence, you may contact HP Phone Support for further assistance at the link: www.hp.com/contacthp
You have a good day ahead.
