HP ENVY 17: Left hinge issues

• HP Envy 17: HP Envy 17 left hinge broken

  Today, I opened my laptop and the left hinge broke. I posted elsewhere in these forums.

  Not a happy camper right now.

  I had with HP customer support with the help of mods/admins here. Because my laptop is out of warranty, I had to pay for repair.

  I didn't have to pay because this seems to be a major problem, but also I didn't take it to anyone. In addition, everyone wanted to double that asked the HP.

  They charged me $178 give or take a few changes. I was surprised when I came back. Not only have they replace the hinge, they also replaced the upper and lower the machine sections. They also found another problem at the level of the material and that fixed too, it is nothing to do with my problem. Basically, they checked the entire machine even though it was just a hinge.

  I was very angry when it happened, but am quite happy with the results. Of what I was said, since HP went completely through it I can actually restored coverage, for a price of course.

  The laptop looks great and works great.

  Thanks for the support of the HP team.

  This issue, therefore, and must thus be recognised as SOLVED!

  EDIT: When CS calls you, let know them to look in the forums for this issue. Some there is not aware that it is a recurring problem.

• M6 envy: Envy M6 left hinge cracked

  Tonight, I noticed that the left hinge of my screen was cracked and it is bulging makes it very difficult for me to close the screen. Do a little research I noticed that this seems to be a problem with the envy of m6, and of course my computer is no longer under warranty. I was wondering if there is any course of action I can take to have it repaired. It's my only computer and I am a student so not to use is simply not an option right now.

  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!

• HP Envy 17 Notebook PC TS left hinge problem

  Left hinge on my HP Envy TS 17 Notebook PC pushes the lower lid of my laptop open whenever I open and close my laptop. My desire is quite recent and it is still under the one year warranty.

  Hello

  Yes.  MY problem is solved.  Company and I got the replacement unit successfully.

  Note: If you have a lot of software installed, especially of VMs on your current laptop, so my personal advice would be to get the repaired unit, I came across the problem to reactivate the license think little software, I do several facilities and refuse activation.   However after talking to the licensing issue has been resolved, but it consumes a lot of time.

  However, if the activation of the license is not a problem for you then unit replacement is better.

  Concerning

  PS. but in the new laptop also, I always get a little tic noice when I open and close the laptop from the left hinge.   That is why I it opens very slowly.  I have just pray and hope that it does not break.  because I get 2nd replacement.

• HP ENVY 1090ee 6 - left hinge broken

  I bought HP, Acer, Lenovo and Asus because I thought that the only thing that HP offers each time, is of exquisite build quality. However, today, I was met with a surprise. The left hinge (one near the power button) has apparently unravel, as if on its own.

  Surprised as I was, I contacted the technical support. Surprise, Surprise, my warranty information is wrong. Ive lost out on half a year warranty services.

  FLASH BACK: DUBAI - laptop bought on 3 February, 13 - great expectations.

  SKIP TO PRESENT: INDIA - lost hinge broken and guaranteed.

  Then I took a deep breath and open the HPSA faithful once again, inform the specialist my "fake date of purchase" (note that I am in India at the time). I am informed by the technician that I have 'support of the HP tech to the Arab Emirates UNITED to rectify the problem. '

  A STRIKE.

  Thus, everyone knows how 'good' the guarantee are services in India. I remember having an old all-in-one HP printer. The printer does not work, so we took to the "authorized" HP nearest after-sales service. The first day we went, we were not given any "service". The next day we went, that they claimed THAT NOTHING under the guarantee it covers. They could be right, but oh well, we paid for rectification.

  So now I feel like its going to be a repeat of the last time. And it's funny, because I found a large NUMBER of people having the same problem. I don't want to support the customer, waste BECAUSE I SAW them HELP OTHERS. The sad part is that these people are mostly from the States.

  Maybe its not justified, but it always seems like the developing countries get the worst of both worlds. We are the highest consumer population, and yet we get the inflated prices (I know are due to many factors beyond the control of the company) and poor service.

  I can't believe that there is not a single HP to Mumbai service center is, well, purely HP, and not a 3rd party "authorized dealer". I suppose that can't do anything on this subject and maybe as I write this in vain, but if someone is listening (or reading), may I suggest at least to have a third party service center. This will help a LOT.

  I hope someone can help me.

• If defeated by the left hinge - TouchSmart from HP ENVY 17 - j005ea Notebook PC

  Hello world

  Recently, when I opened my TouchSmart HP ENVY 17-j005ea book I noticed that the case falls apart.

  I had the computer since December 2013.

  Can someone please help?

  Thank you

  

  I managed to fix it myself, without the help of HP.

  I removed the rubber foot near the left hinge where the case came out and found that the screw had worked loose causing the case to open it. I put the screws in place and the hinge works perfectly.

  I am currently looking ways to prevent it from happening again.

  Kind regards

• HP envy 6 - 1010sv: left hinge broke, about to break

  Hello!

  I have the 6-1010sv envy and the left hinge broke. From what I've read in the forums, this is a very common problem.

  Right now I'm looking for my repair options.

  I called the phone number, I found in the forums and they said since it is a guarantee out product I could not send to Hp (?) and suggested to visit a store (Bestbuy) for technical support. (BTW Best buy does not offer this kind of support...)

  In addition, my laptop was bought from the Greece and they suggested to contact hp Greece for more options (!). The thing is that I live in the USA and I don't understand why I can't have tech support here in the United States.

  Does anyone know how can I fix my laptop? Centres of local authorized repair maybe?

  A local authorized maintainer should be exactly what need you. Use the following web page to find one near you.

• HP ENVY M7-J120DX: HP ENVY M7-J120DX left hinge chronic flaw in the design. Help I am falling apart here.

  Noticed the flexibility increase at first then the left hinge of closing of pop and split the case. I had the chance to put back in place and snap it back but it's tenative at best. I see no proactive movement side HP on this chronic problem. What happens with that. I just purchased another HP and have my HP Pavilion dv4-1435dx sitting next to me. HP has been my choice for laptops over the past 20 years, almost. Get off the throne and do something for us all... Alternatives are out there with the crush coming out on Asus and Sony.  So keep all the people in this forum who seem to be long term and clients and not wacky lous users looking for a hand.

• M7-j020dx Touch Smart 17 envy: left hinge problem m7-j020dx want.

  When I open the laptop now, the left back of the low box (below the left hinge) breaks down as the screen is high in a viewing position. I have to press the back of the left side of the bottom of the case and the top of the case to get the left rear of the closed box. When I drop the screen, the left rear of the case is falling apart and stay outside until the screen is closed. I am able to close the left rear of the case by pressing the up and down of the left rear of the case together. The right hinge and the back of the right side of the case do not have this problem. This problem started today. I have pictures smartphone that I can send if necessary. The notebook and the screen is operational. Just do not know what is happening with the left hinge to force the case apart on the back left side of the front panel.

• HP ENVY M6-1105DX hinges + DvD Drive to good work done?

  Hello. I have some problems with my HP Envy m6-1105dx I received some time around Christmas 2012 from BestBuy. It has been a year of very pleasant to use, especially for games and social networks and other, and I was take care of it, ever since. I've never taken to anywhere outside of my home. I just leave it on a cool table where I can use it as a way to office everyday. However, all about the summer of last year, I noticed from my right hinge becomes very sensitive when closing it. So I thought that maybe I should close more slow the next time. After that around December 2013, the right hinge sprung loose on the right side, make some gaps between the right side of the hinge, on the side of the laptop screen and my monitor display 3 slim blue and purple lines, that irritate me.

  After that, I sent my laptop to be inspected at first sight to a trustworty computer repair store I've visited when my old Office XP does not work. They were my only hope to the fixing of envy, because how my warranty expired around December of the same year, and someone in my house unfortunately threw the case and the reception I got from BestBuy. They mentioned how some companies use cheap adhesives and plastic to make new laptops. Above all, they took note of my DVD drive, which had a yellow bracelet that was not supposed to be as damaged as it seems. (I never really used the DVD player, since I already have music and videos on my phone). They charged me $30 for another review of the laptop inside, and if they found something seriously wrong with the laptop, they would charge me around $20 - $200 extra. At this time, I refused, looking for another way to fix. I tried to visit other repair shops and got the same answers, needing further inspections, etc.

  I really need advice on what to do. I am only a teenager in high school, barely received any money to afford to repair. I have seen videos of YouTube on the repair of several screens of laptops Envy M-series, searched through the internet for several replacements, hinges, etc., screen or other repair shops. The thing is I'm not really confident in my ability to repair a laptop, and it feels like theres really nothing I can do.

  My left hinge is at the point where its about to pop, and I'm starting to see good glue cheap ripping off the hinge, as if it was made in fact at a great price. I really need advice to find a way set these hinges and get my laptop back into shape.

  Thank you for the time and I'm sorry if I wrote too.

• left hinge is broken

  Hello community HP,.

  my hp ultrabook model: HP ENVY Sleekbook 6-1080ex

  The left hinge broke a few days ago and I checked my warranty status and he arrived at expiration. Then a regualr computer store repair my ultrabook or should I fix it in one of the shops of HP?

  Another question, I have noticed since I got this model,

  (1) it freezes a lot and the same thing kept happenning when I upgraded to windows 8.

  (2) Moreover the device gots very hot when you do activities such as internet browsing and emails chekcing regualr.  And I'm using a cooling pad all the time for this reason.

  It's my second expericne with number of HP and especially my own HP family member number so they are facing the same problems of excessive cold or heat... I plan to switch to another company if HP keeps ignoring the problems of heat and glitching in his designs.

  Thank you

  I finally received an answer from HP and they asked for more information about my laptop. I think only two or three days elapsed between the forum messages and HP response. I hope this goes somewhere.
