HP Envy left side hinge / case separation

The case on my daughters HP Envy 17 is separating at the left side hinge. Recently, she noticed that each time she opens or closes the laptop, the stress from the hinge causes the case to separate and there is a popping sound.  
(We can hear a small piece of metal or plastic shifting in the case if I tip it to one side or the other) The laptop has always been carefully handled and it almost never leaves her desktop.  
I thought that perhaps the hinge was defective on this particular unit until I found the volume of complaints that are posted here and on locations on the internet.  
I would guess that it is out of warrantee so I don't actually "expect" HP to do anything.   However, given the number of complaints, it would be exceptionally wonderful if HP provide a solution for us.   Up until this point, this has been a good laptop that has met our expectations.  However, if we have to pay to send it in and get it repaired, we will probably choose to replace it with a laptop from another vendor.   

@kwbjhb ,
I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post personal information (serial numbers and case details).
If you are unfamiliar with how the Forum's private message capability works, you can learn about that here.
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forum.

  • The left side of the hinge cover on my Macbook Pro, is this something I should be concerned about?

    The black plastic hinge cover on my Macbook Pro has a loose left side, it feels like it's not against the hinges like the other side is. When I push down on the cover it feels like there's empty space between the cover and what I assume to be the hinges. I was wondering if this is something I can repair myself or if I need to take it to Apple? I have coverage for hardware issues until April 2012.

    If its covered just take it in.  If you tinker with it and something else happens to it you void the warranty.  My philosophy is, if there is a warranty, use it.m that's why they were created.  To protect the buyer in cases like yours

    Creeking Noise: When I press lightly on the center left side of my screen I hear I slight creeking noise it occurs with case off as well.  I believe it is coming from the screen.

    No one here can say for sure what Apple will do. You need to make an appointment at the Genius Bar to have the device looked at, and Apple makes the final determination. If they find a problem with the device, they can replace it.

  • Vertical black line with shade dots down left side of page - NEW Cartridge

    I installed a NEW cartridge and was able to print about 30 pages before the paper began having a 1/16" black stripe with shade(?) dots down the left side.  Could someone please advise.
    Thank you,

    Thanks.
    I am very new to Pages. Yesterday I decided to go after a "Brochure" template, as it already had at least one vertical line separating text passages on the left and right. But there were too many sections, so I went about deleting all the extraneous, unwanted lines. And also the unwanted horizontal lines. To do this, you have to click the line itself to discover where the "nodes" are. But the nodes are locked, so you have to go to the top control bar of the desktop. (I think that this is the option titled "arrange").
    It appears that the secret to tinkering with the lines in the templates, is by unlocking the nodes to the lines, dragging them around, and then locking them in place again, saving them between major changes. In any case, none of this is going to be intuitive to users who come to the Mac from a text based 'DOS' universe. (I have absolutely no experience with Microsoft products, and would be lost if somebody asked me to do this from Windows.)
    Now, I think I am going in the right direction, and I appreciate your help, but I'm still having a little difficulty switching back and forth from editing templates, and typing text in. What are the sequences of keypresses for going back and forth from editing the templates, and typing the text in?

  • How Can I Achieve Sliding Out Social Icons on Left side of Page?

    I have been trying to find free plugins, but ways to work with the various states in Muse, but am having trouble deciding which was is best. Here is an example of what I mean,,, but all are only for Wordpress.
    http://smartcatdesign.net/sliding-social-icons-free-wordpress-plugin/

    ok try and explain this best as I can....
    ok,,, I used a set PSD document size first to make sure all Active Icons were same size....(screen shot 1)
    2) Then after I had every icon I needed,, I saved each one as for instance facebook_active for site purposed,, but leave this document open to simply bring in the icon to next file
    3) Next I opened a new PSD document and set size to 153px x 47px (was size I was looking for, which would be my hover state in the end)
    4) If you look at my layers closely you will see kinda what I did,,, just added new layer and went little passed left edge of each icon with its own color: facebook=blue youtube=red.....
    5) Then I centered text to make sure all text would be in the same spot and look good.
    6) then when u have my 2nd screen shot,,, save that as facebook_hover
    7) Muse time,,,,, go to muse and make rectangle of the size of your hover size (my case was 153px X 47px) and place with left edge alligned to left side of page.
    go to fill,,, and image icon to upload your active icon first and make sure is original size and set to far middle left......then make sure your color fill is transparent,,, nothing.....
    8) Then go to states and rollover and then go back to fill and upload the hover image and do original size,, should fill rectangle exactly

    Hi Poojith
    Not sure if this would solve your requirment but just in case might be helpful:
    1. We can mix up the HTML and HTMLB components in the JSP Page. However, can access only the HTMLB components in the controller. The following link refers to what customizations are offered by the HTMLB framework:
    [http://www.sapdesignguild.org/resources/htmlb_guidance/]
    2. Another option would be to use AbstractPortalComponents or a simple web app if that's feasible. (where custom UI themes, css and layout are more in control of the developers.)

  • How to keep a label at the left side of a JScrollPane

    Hi all
    I am essentially trying to make a text block that doesn't move as the scrollpane scrolls (horizontally in my case)
    Here's my code trying to do this simply using Graphics.drawString (not compilable - tell me if you need something that compiles):
              g.setFont(getTaskFont());
              g.setColor(getTaskLabelForeground());
              g.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
              JScrollPane sp = ComponentUtilities.getJScrollPaneAncester(this);
              for (int i = 0; i < tasks.size() - 1; i++) {
                   Task t = tasks.get(i + 1);
                   FontMetrics fm = g.getFontMetrics();
                   int y = i * (rowHeight + rowSpace) + fm.getAscent() + (rowHeight - fm.getHeight()) / 2;
                   int strlen = fm.stringWidth(t.getName().toUpperCase());
                   int start = getXLocationForTime(t.getStart());
                   int end = getXLocationForTime(t.getFinish());
                   int len = end - start;
                   int x = 0;
                   //System.out.println("task: " + t.getName());
                   if (strlen < len) {
                        x = Math.min(end + 5, Math.max(start + 3, sp.getHorizontalScrollBar().getValue()));
                   else {
                        x = end + 5;
                   g.drawString(t.getName().toUpperCase(), x, y);
              }Here's my code trying to do this using a JLabel
                   JScrollPane sp = ComponentUtilities.getJScrollPaneAncester(this);
                   int y = i * (rowHeight + rowSpace); //+ fm.getAscent() + (rowHeight - fm.getHeight()) / 2;
                   int strlen = fm.stringWidth(t.getName().toUpperCase());
                   int start = getXLocationForTime(t.getStart());
                   int end = getXLocationForTime(t.getFinish());
                   int len = end - start;
                   int x = 0;
                   //System.out.println("task: " + t.getName());
                   if (strlen < len) {
                        x = Math.min(end + 5, Math.max(start + 3, sp.getHorizontalScrollBar().getValue()));
                   else {
                        x = end + 5;
                   floaters.setLocation(x, y + (rowHeight - fm.getHeight()) / 4);
                   floaters[i].repaint();
    Both [i]almost work, but the scrolling is not smooth (blinks back & forth). It seemed like a double buffering problem, but when I added code to paint first to an image and then to screen the issue remained.
    I also tried adding labels to the JLayeredPane popup layer, but I this solution is problematic also, as labels start drawing all over the place. Plus, I'd rather not have to keep track of the labels and be repositioning them in the first place.
    Any advice on this is sincerely appreciated.
    Thanks!

    You should take it to an Apple store or an AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) Carefully inspect the hinge joint and make sure there is no debris that you can see, you can try carefully sliding some sticky tape thru the joint to clear any loose stuff out. But this sounds like there might be more going on here, and the hinge is something that you do not want to fool with.

  • The new itunes overfills my window. When I try to move it to the left so that I can use the slide bar on the right, part  of the left side of screen is not visible. How can I fix this, please.

    The problem of tracks becoming de-linked between iTunes and the music files in your iTunes music folder happens for different reasons - this seems to come up fairly commonly in this forum.
    The solution can be to locate each song in the iTunes library, as you mentioned - or, but wait, before I get to that...
    trouble finding the original track in your iTunes music folder? maybe look for it under compilations, or if not using the 'group compilations preference' then look in the folder under the songs artist name, but what song artist name iTunes uses depends on what you have in the metedata tag spot for album artist or song artist. Any varyation in artist name spelling, in the menu item 'get info' metadata for any selected individual track will cause iTunes to create that as a separate artist folder in the library, even names like 'various' or any difference at all (even the word 'the' can change where in your iTunes music folder a track gets placed by iTunes). You can try to use the finder function of find file (finder munu item outside of iTunes) to locate hard to find items.
    Back to how to re-link any de-linked tracks .
    There may be scripts that can help re-link de-linked music files - or, at least provide you a list of such files, Scripts are easy to install and use...
    at Dougs Scripts, there is one called iTunes Track CPR that might work
    http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=itunestrackcpr
    or, if you just want a list of de-linked tracks, go to
    http://dougscripts.com/itunes/
    and find the script called List MIA's, this will create a text file listing all de-linked tracks
    if you review the thread at
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3633708
    also the thread at

    you may find more insight into dealing with this kind of issue there, although some of that thread may not apply to your case, aspects of it might help.

  • Move the "X" from the left side to the right side in the Document Name Tab

    I just installed CS5 MC for MAC and realized that the "X" to close the file is by default located to the left side of the Document  Name in the Tab or Bar rather than to the right when multiple files are open in an application.  I haven't checked all the Adobe Apps yet, but found this to be the case so far in AI, PS, ID.
    Where do I go in the master or individual app settings to reconfigure the file name/document name tab or bar so the little "X" that closes the file is to the right of the name rather than the left?
    I did notice that in many of Deke's Lynda training videos, the "X" was on the left in a few sessions, but most were on the right.  Really hope this isn't a MAC/PC centric thing or that it is mandatory to download Deke's custom settings for the fix.
    Thanks to anyone with the magic answer!!!
    Cheers!

    Bob --- Thank you for that very quick response.
    Bugger for the unfortunate answer, but thank you for advising/confirming the sad reality.
    Sure wish some code would fall from the sky and do a fix or workaround on this so users have the option.  I may be one of the few hung up on this, but it sure would be nice.
    Seems this is yet another "...centric" reason to use a PC in lieu of a MAC when working with Adobe products these days.
    Flip/Flop go the platforms!
    Cheers!

  • When Opening  Site File  Left Side Comes up Blank!

    When we open our site from Go live (Open Recent), it usually has the right side filled out with "edit" side and the left side is blank but can be connected. For some reason now it appears to be opening the site file as usual and then when it finishes it comes up as completed, and the left side which *usually has our data, is now totally blank!
    We then went to "our Documents" and opened it from the computer file instead, and it worked one time, but not subsequent times. We were able to back it up and have been using that back up on our "Maxtor External Drive" as a way to publish and edit.
    The Maxtor "backed up file" has been working for us on the orginal computer that did not pull it up. We even tried loading the file on an additional computer that has GoLive. It worked fine there, so we concluded that the memory on the original computer was just not enough, or that the computer was going out, and that we would just edit from the backed up file on Maxtor for now.
    This is not the case since NOW the backed up file we saved on our Maxtor will not open the site any longer. It is blank on the left side just as it had been doing on the original computer.
    Our business website is at stake now! Help!

    Thank you so much for replying, we have been in a panic here at our business since it is 100% mail/Internet order!
    That was the last thing we tried, We created a "New Site" and imported the backed up "site file" from our Maxtor back up (even though it was blank apparently!). This seems to be working for right now, hopefully it wont go unexpectedly blank again!
    We are moving to Dream weaver Monday, hopefully we will be able to transfer it with no problem? We would be tranfering the "site file" off of Maxtor. It did not have a web content, data, etc. folder for the new site. Is this going to be a problem when transferring?

  • Web pages are printed incorrectly, i.e. left side of page in p.1, right side on page 2. This started recently. Correct printer is identified.

    Firefox recently updated. Now, printing a web page results in left side printed on p.1, right side on page 2. Using the same Canon D9000 printer. Selecting horizontal format causes the left side of page to be printed 1/2 size on 1/4 page! Printing same web page with IE is OK. Printing from MS`Word is OK.

    All web pages? Or just some? Example of a page where that happens?
    Do those pages have '''Frames'''? <br />IOW, is the '''Print Frames''' section in the print dialog available (not greyed-out) for selecting '''''Each frame separately'''''?
    If that isn't a Frames issue, my advice is to do the '''reset''' described here. <br />
