the left hinge broken for my HP Pavilion dm4-2165dx

The plastic piece that is what I call the hinge broke. I ordered a new and it comes, but I have questions with turn it on and do not want to damage my computer. Is there a visual guide somewhere who can help me to put that part back on? I understand that this is a common problem with these PC and it is always the left hinge. Help, please!

Thank you very much!

All this just to replace a small piece of plastic?

Unfortunately, Yes.

    I also have a left hinge broken on my HP Pavilion 17.3, that I bought there is a little more than 3 years. I had fixed 2013 and everything seems ok, but now he hit again on the xact tool same place.

    Now the screen went white yet :-(

    According to all the other similar problems, you fix it by HP in my opinion.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 Pavilion dm4 2165dx: cannot install the wireless driver

    I improve my OS to windows 7. While trying to install the drivers, everything has been installed successfully except the wireless. I tried all the drivers wireless for my product and he just immediately close after extraction. I also tried Windows 8.1 and tried to install wireless driver for the operating system but has always failed.

    Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit

    Hello:

    You should see a device labeled network controller listed under other devices in Device Manager if necessary the driver wireless card.

    There is something wrong.

    1. the wireless card needs the HP Connection Manager software installed so it can be activated by using the software, then you should be able to install the driver or the Terminator post will be installed.

    HP connection manager

    File name: sp54945.exe

    2. the wireless card is bad and must be replaced, or must be removed and reinstalled because of an oxidized connection.

    3. the motherboard is bad.

    Also install software quick launch to ensure that all Fn keys work correctly.  There's a chance outside that might be the problem, but I doubt it.

  • All-in-one Pavilion 23 23-b034: 2 try to install the solution Center HP for printer HP Pavilion has failed. Screenshots

    I had to do a cover of the factory recently. I can print with the HP C7280 programs smoothly. I got this printer and the solution Center works on this pc before the resumption of the plant and another pc before that.  I tried to install my printer HP all One Printer Solution Center now twice with today fails. I hope that the help of screenshots.

    I 1) downloaded a complete new installation - 2) off all antivirus - 3) restarted and restarted the printer HP - 4) the fact that all windows updates have been applied for windows 8.1 - 5) tried after the provided HP solutions but always with failure. Installation all the way to the final "device configuration"... and then expires. Thanks for any help.

    I ALWAYS KUDO AND MARKED RESOLVED. It is THE RIGHT THING to DO... doncha know. «  :-D

    RnrMusicMan: (btw, former musician of Navy for this purpose) I need to send thanks a lot for your answer. I have tried, almost to the point of questioning my sanity, too many times tried too many things and all have failed. Why not go and buy a new printer? Financial considerations. Here's what I've worked with... (finally a good result there, at least the best I know for the moment at the end)

    (1) start here, I have an older HP all C720 printer wireless. I do not think at the moment there is a download of the full version which will allow him to install it in a machine of 8.1. An 8 machine if necessary, but not a 8.1 I do not...? That's what I gathered. Where I made my mistake, so, I was this old horse to battle C7280 installed on my newer HP Pavilion and worked very well with 8.1, (read on before thinking 8.1 work with the C7280) when I say great worked, I mean the Solution Center has worked. Then after a while I improved the Pavilion to 8.1 and everything was fine. A couple of weeks, I had to do a cover of the plant on the HP Pavilion. Instead of installing the software of the printer with the center of solutions right then while he was still an OS 8, I upgraded to 8.1 Loaded my favorite of all the programs and tweaks and tricks. Then I said, I'll install the old workhorse C7280. It would not, not at all, regardless of how many tips I read here, and Googling. Then I tried to install the full version of XP on one of the XP machines. No go. Something I said is prevention. Who could know. I tried to purge the XP what I knew could be related to HP. Shut off all antivirus programs, download fees, etc. etc. ad naseum. I have read and read and tried and failed and failed. You get the drama.

    So, I decided that if I could get it on the Acer Aspire one Netbook I could use as a slave, small sorta Acer server. I barely use the netbook anyway. So I couldn't do. Frustration. So I decided JUST ONE MORE ATTEMPT. And here's what I did for Acer.

    I did a factory restore. No former antivirus autour. Nothing is added. Presitine and already had Service Pack 3 with the resumption of the plant.  What follows I have none to little idea of his touch, but that's what I did.

    (2) I have an old modem that I had used as a slave of my new modem D-Link. I got it, because many of my devices will not work on the new 'n'.  I think, old modem old printer, old BONES. I have set the printer to get the old o SSID of the slave and agreed which has no password. Fortunately, I know anyone personally that could use this wireless slave and they all have their own.

    (3) so once again, I downloaded the full version of XP on the netbook. Extracted, he ran, and so he went the full installation and works.

    That's a lot, but I'm a cheap guy who hates to throw even if old devices, good. I use this Chrome extension called Extension Office remotely in order to get on the netbook from any computer and print using the Solution Center.

    I don't know what I did but I know I've worked. So this is my solution. I'm sure some could find another work around, but probably way above my paygrade.

    Once again, thanks a lot for taking the time. I think I followed your solution several, much too long and did not work. Unless I was always doing something wrong.  My solution was radical but it works for me always try to use these appliances. I just take good care of them and they last. My most recent is the HP Pavilion and it's going on 2 years now.

    Differences or questions please ask. 'Jack :-{D '.

    No, I don't think laptop IDE drives were made in sizes more than 500 GB. And the greatest, I see out there in any quantity is a 160 gig. This 320 gig was great, I could find on eBay right now:

    GPU: ASUS GeForce GTX 560 (Fermi) 1 GB 256-bit GDDR5

    I wonder if these prodcuts will enter the computer, as is or if I should look for other products.

    Thank you

    The ASUS GTX 560 should adapt and work very well. The Antec PSU is great and very likely to have problems in the space provided. It can interfere with connections to the motherboard and push against the CD/DVD discs. Please look at the Corsair CX600 instead. It is only slightly larger than the block of power SUPPLY HP stock and is known to adapt.
