HP ENVY 17-j160nr TouchSmart: HP ENVY 17-j160nr TouchSmart broken hinge

The left hinge came adrift and is causing the case to inflate.

The laptop is no longer under warranty but this seems to be a very common mistake (found after doing some research)

It's my third HP laptop and the first to give me no problems at all, so I was not prepared for this problem to occur.

Is that what HP can do, considering how widespread the issue seems to be?

Thank you

Got my lappy back today and it's all fixed.

My only concern is that the hinges still seem a little too tight, I was wondering if the problem will be re - cur accordingly. I guess only time will tell.

A big thank you to the HP support if everything went as promised and with very little noise.

Communication was also excellent.

Kind regards

  • HP Envy 15t: 15 t broken hinge problem affecting current laptops?


    There is no way to know for sure, but the new 15t has a design to hinge significantly different than those that have caused so many problems.

  • HP ENVY Notebook PC m6: HP ENVY m6 broken hinge

    Hello. I've owned my laptop HP ENVY M6 for over 2 years now, so of course my warranty has expired. About 2 months ago or not, I noticed that the right hinge on my laptop has been raised then I inspected it and then pushed him down. This continued whenever I close the laptop with me pushing down from the hinge. The coating for the monitor also plastic bends whenever I close the laptop. These questions seem to be relatively minor at the time. Tonight, 09/12/15, when I went to close the laptop, the hinge completely gave way, broke and collapsed. The left side seems to be still intact. I noticed that inside the bottom right of the screen, a piece of metal was separated across the screen. I suspect that this piece of metal is what more or less kept the hinge in place for 2 + months that it has been broken. In other words, when the piece of metal gave way, so too does the already broken hinge.

    The HP ENVY laptop m6 always seems to be in working order other than the broken hinge. However, this means that I can not put anywhere at the present time. The ability to transport my laptop is very important for me because I am currently in College and I take a lot of my notes on my laptop

    I was wondering if there is anyway to have technical support on my laptop? I noticed that the broken hinges are a very common problem with the HP ENVY m6 (perhaps a manufacturing error) and hope it will be resolved as soon as possible.

    Thank you

  • H * ENVY TouchSmart 17-j153cl: H * ENVY TouchSmart 17-j153cl broken hinge

    I searched this forum and Google and YouTube, but have not found a way to repair the left hinge on my laptop of 17-j153cl H * ENVY TouchSmart. The left hinge has separated from the main frame causing the bottom of the laptop to get out of the upper part. Fixing of the screen is still fine. The right hinge has not failed yet, but with the extra pressure in this regard, it may be only a matter of time.

    I am just out of warranty, unfortunately. Are there resources to attempt this repair? I wouldn't break my worst computer he is already going blind.

  • TouchSmart HP Envy 15-j013ea: computer laptop hinges loosening all by lifting the lid

    Hello

    Very recently, I discovered that the hinges through which my laptop is connected start to loose up, I remember once pulling on my laptop screen. At that time I had not really noticed any problem, but the last two days, I noticed that every time I lift the lid hinges creak, and also, I found that this has started to perform the fan ventilation openings because there is a gap when the laptop lid is in place. Can someone help me with this! or is it better to take it to an authorized dealer. If possible can someone help me find one in London.

    Thank you

    @Albert5

    The question of the hinge on the Evny of HP is well known to HP, and yet they refuse to do much, if anything, to this subject.  If you are in warranty, they will typically set for free, no questions asked.  Out of warranty, however, it's like a completely different society.  They will be responsible of very varying amounts, from $130 to $300 to fix their own design flaw.   Here is a link to a long thread that I started to update others on the issue and my relationship with HP:

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-hardware/defective-hinges-on-HP-laptops-envy/m-p/5378336#M204440

    We hope that you will find useful information.  As further evidence that HP is aware of their own design flaw, the new 17 "want to have a case completely redesigned with a much better hinge.

    Good luck!

  • Envy 15-q009tx: Envy 15 audio is broken

    Spoiler (Highlight to read)

     
     

    My envy 15, which was introduced 6 months ago, audio sound broke her.

    For example, when the audio is "make me ra fa", could be"ra-a-a fa." And it comes in unexpected ways.

    Any I play a youtube video or mp3 on the player, it happens.

    I don't know that this is not problem my headset. I use 3 different helmet and his own President, they all have the same problem.

    I tried to reset the computer to factory setting, but it still happens, can someone tell me what I need to do?

    PS. before that, I've updated the BIOS, is there a relationship with her?

    HI @willho ,

    Thank you for your query.

    I understand that after an update of the bios, the sound does not work correctly.

    You reset the computer back to factory settings, but the audio has not changed.

    The audio is the same no matter what, if you are using the internal speaker or headphones.  You have tried different headphones also.

    Have you ran the Windows troubleshooting tool?

    Did you run HP Support Assistant to help with the other updates?

    What is the current version of bios you have installed?

    As you laptop is only 6 months old, I suggest to contact HP support for help.

  • HP envy m6 broken hinge problem

    Bought a hp envy m6 in December 2012 for 630 books and 18 months later hinge snaps completely off causing the surrounding cases break. HP will do nothing about it because it is outside the one year warranty. I am disgusted as many other hp HP customers are not repair these free laptops for many customers with the same problem. Because hp would not put this issue on the recall list customers are left with broken laptops. I am disgusted with the service the customer of hp on this issue and I would advice anyone looking to buy a hp want to not waste their money on one. I've always had less expensive brands of laptops that have certainly taken longer than this expensive hp one. Shame on hp for this poor customer service

  • HP Envy Touch smart screen broken

    Hello

    Sometimes I accidentally broke the screen of my laptop. I wonder if there is a way that the screen can be replaced. I saw that it was covered by a sort of guarantee until 2015 (see link) http://h20614.www2.hp.com/ediags/gmd/ProdDetect.aspx?lc=en&cc=us#

  • HP Envy 15 t Toochsmart l: broken hinge

    Hope this happens to Jeff.  My computer is no longer under warranty, but I have a broken hinge.  I brought this computer only 2 years and can afford to buy a new one.  The two hinges on my laptop broke. I googled and found others have the same problem.  Has anyone heard if HP publish any recall for hinge broken since a lot of people have broken the hinge question?  I heard that Jeff is very useful, I appreciateif anyone I would like to know how to communicate with Jeff? Thank you very much!

    I was assigned to the case manager for broken hinge.  HP offers to fix it with the more than $150 price tag.  There are so many owners of HP laptop with the same problem as mine of HP forum.  Someone knows HP deliver any recall for broken hinge problem.  I hope that that goes message to Jeff.
