Black plastic strip that connects the screen to the keyboard is cracked, ideas for fixing without replacing the whole screen?

The black plastic strip that connects the top portion (screen) to the bottom portion (keyboard) is cracked and getting pretty bad. I brought it in to get fixed, but I was told it is just a costmetic problem. I am worried that soon it will be cracked completely. Is there any way to just replace that portion without replacing the entire screen?

I completely agree. If it does crack all the way through, does it effect the use of the computer though?
I'm just trying to plan ahead.

    I need to replace my crack 5C screen, any help

    If you are in the US, some Apple stores have the ability to replace a screen, some do not. If they can, the cost is only $149. If they cannot, then without Apple Care + you would need to purchase an out of warranty replacement at a cost of $269. If you do have Apple Care +. you can make 2 total exchanges over the 2 year life of Apple Care + with a $69 deductible.

    Hello @Shotts01 , and welcome to the HP Forums.
    I can see you had the display screen pulled off of the printer. 
    When dealing with hardware damage like this, the best recommendation I could make would be to contact HP directly.  You can utilize this website to learn how to contact HP appropriately, based on your region: Contact HP Worldwide.

  • Is it possible to connect the iPad to an Infocus and a remote for ppt presentations at the same time?

    I've always used PC and I'm planning on making the transition to Mac.  That's why I'm considering buying an iPad. Today I went to Best Buys and the Mac guy told me that it isn't possible to connect the iPad to an Infocus and a remote for ppt presentations at the same time. Is that true?  I'm a speaker and that was the main reason I was considering buying an iPad, so I didn't have to carry my laptop. Thanks for your help!

    Thanks for your reply. Looks like it can as I have just found this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKp02y4JXVs

  • Is there a way to add photos to the iPad without replacing the ones already loaded?  I am trying to add photos from a folder on a computer that does not contain the other iPad photos.

    Is there a way to ADD photos to my iPad without replacing the ones already there?  I am trying to add photos from a computer that does not contain photos already synced to the device.

    You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • My Ipod classic is corrupted and I only get the red X on the screen...Cannot move to any other screens. Any ideas on fixing without paying Applw?

    My Ipod classic is corrupted and I only get the red X on the screen...Cannot move to any other screens. Any ideas on fixing without paying Applw?

    Unfortunately there isn't. A Red X is usually an indicator that the HDD has failed, if you are unable to restore the device using iTunes and also not able to reformat using windows prior to restoring then a hardware repair is needed. If your iPod is out of warranty then the pricing you pay is to have the iPod replaced not repaired. You're looking at 129.00 - 179.00 plus shipping depending on the gen.

  • When I watch tv shows in Front Row that I've bought off iTunes the audio gradually falls out of sync with the video. It does not happen with other files that I have converted into mp4s. Any ideas for fixing this? It's a huge bummer...

    I too have the same problem.  The audio drop out of sync in about 5 sec in not uncommon for the audio to be 30+ sec behind video.  Apple needs to fix this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   its a joke,  my iphone is all messed up after the last update as well.  at one time not to long ago apple products and software were top rated, not so much any more, more and more problems are showing up and apple is unwilling or unalbe to fix the many issues.  Apple needs to fix the audio sync problem, it not the computer hardware or other software it ITUNES!!!!,  there is no workaround other then hitting pause and hitting pause and hitting pause to temp fix the problem.

  • HT3798 my iPod was originally connect to an old HP. The HP has since died and now I own a Macbook pro. I want to transfer the music from my iPod (originally synced with the HP) to my Macbook Pro. Is this possible without losing the music on my iPod?

    my iPod was originally connect to an old HP. The HP has since died and now I own a Macbook pro. I want to transfer the music from my iPod (originally synced with the HP) to my Macbook Pro. Is this possible without losing the music on my iPod?

    Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.  It will recognize the iTunes library on the PC as a new library.  If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library.  So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • Is there a way to update an external dictionary for services without migrating the services

    Is there a way to update an external dictionary for services without migrating the services
    Is there a way to update a common external dictionary used by many services without migrating each and every service that uses the dictionary.  I have updated the table in the database and the external dictionary in our Development Environment. The external dictionary is used by many services. When I migrate the changed service to TEST/STAGE/PROD environments (NOTE: the table has been updated in the TEST/STAGE/PROD Databases), only the changed service is having the external dictionary updated. All other services that use the same external dictionary are NOT updated. I have the following questions
    Is it possible to migrate dictionaries so that all the services which are using that dictionary are updated?
    If the first one is not possible, Is there any other way to update the external dictionary without migrating all the services that use dictionary?

    dont think so but I could be wrong
    as it were I didn't like the build in audio so I connected some external logictech 2.1 speakers  but there
    are times when I use headset so I bought this one
    or any minijack splitter will work too so I have 2 things connected to the headset port works just fine
