Product: HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 15 -cx0xxx
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Had this device for about a year and a half.  The display hinge has gradually started failing, with first the glue separating between the display plastic surround, and here in the last few days the hinge beginning to wrench itself off.  No physical damage to the device, average daily usage of a couple hours.  Any options here?  Assuming the device is out of warranty, unfortunate a $1k laptop would break after such a short period of time.

 

Have used HP devices for decades - they've always been well made.  Surprised to see the lower quality plastic and thin metal construction here failing so early...previous device lasted a decade and still has no issues.
