Pavilion Dm1z-4000 broken hinge and broken screen again!

bought my notebook and few months later the plastic part that covers the hinges were making it hard to close the notebook so i would start closing the notebook more careful but then something inside cracked the screen and so i was forced to get my screen fixed Then the plastic around the screen was started to come off a little as well. So now being even more careful with the notebook the plastic hinges cracked off eventally, and then screws started to come off and craked my screen in the corner again. all these plastic parts were braking and unable to find the parts or know exacally what part i need. First time buying an hp compter for college, pretty dissapointed in the product and company becuase now i have no laptop

Hello Melfig408,
I understand your computer is suffering from a broken hinge and a broken screen, is that correct? I will try to help you.
It sounds like the hinges might be too tight making it difficult to close. When that happens the pressure is then put on the screen and can make it crack a lot easier.
Are you looking for the necessary parts to do the repair on your own, or needing it to be repaired by HP?
Please respond back at your earliest convenience.
Thanks

Pavilion dm1z-4000 Hinge Screws

Hello all.
I'm having a heck of a time trying to locate the appropriate screws for my Pavilion dm1z-4000. I need the four screws (I would like a few extra too) that attach the hinges to the display panel. The support manual lists these as Phillips PM2.0×4.2. I've done a Google search and I can't find these screws anywhere. I've seen PM2.0x4.0 or, more commonly, 2.5x4.0.
I don't want to pay an outrageous price for an entire replacement screw set just to procure these four screws. I have seen other used HP screw sets for sale online for a reasonable price but they aren't for my specific model, the dm1z-4000. Some of them are for other dm1 models. What is the likelihood that the screws would be the same?
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
Thanks!

Yeah, the 2.0 x 6.0 screws from the hardware store worked! They've been in for months now and everything has held together fine. I didn't use any washers or anything, just the screws.

Broken Hinges and Plastic cover

The hinges and plastic LCD cover had broken, how to replace it?

It would be worth asking at an Apple store!
When I had a battery replaced a year or so ago, my bottom cover was improperly replaced and appeared warped.
Without batting an eye, they offered to replace it - no charge.
I thought they were just being kind but it turns out it's a common problem on MacBooks from a certain time period (circa2010), so it is Mac's POLICY to replace them without charge when they warp!
http://www.apple.com/support/macbook-bottomcase/
I have the same cracks appearing at the hinges (no bumps or drops, only a well-traveled and much used Mac!) but haven't asked about what obtaining a replacement shell would entail. If I do so before you, I'll reply again with what the terms / cost of replacement would be!

HP m6 broken hinge and screen

HT1492 The update-process of Xcode jan. 2013 ver. did stop whilst installing the iMac did reset and a gray screen appears with the message: Diskdrive 0 space available - then reset and gray screen again. How can I delete the update?

After allowing my iMac updating about 80 apps, the process did stop whilst installing new ver. Xcode jan. 2013 - the iMac did reset and a gray screen appears, with white letters: 0 space on Harddrive! It wasn't any sign the harddisk had not space enough, to complete the update - until the reset occours. For us and our little company a catastrophic event.
After inserting the original Snow Lepard Install Disk, the Diskmanager shows no error. No test shows any sign of error in Software. Freeing some of the empty space shows 12,5 Gb.
Perhaps this is a new kind of error happen with this combinations of the new versions of Apps and Xcode...?
Perhaps it's a know problem. I will be truely happy when finding a solution in this community.
Kindest Regards from Scandinavia

If it's slow on startup it would be extensions loading or LaunchDaemons starting up.
You should have a look in:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/Extensions
You can count out anything in your home folder and it shouldn't put anything in /System as that's reserved for Apple.

Broken hinges on HP Envy Sleekbook

Hi - I hope someone can help. I bought a HP Envy Sleekbook for my home business less than a year ago from PC World in Bath, UK.
I have the same issue of broken hinges and damaged screen surround as a number of people on here. The problem has simply arisen from opening and closing the screen - the laptop has never left my house, nor been dropped or mistreated in any way.
Could somebody please point me in the right direction to get it fixed. I have the original receipt dated 31/01/13 and box.
Many thanks

Broken hinges on a old Satellite P20

My widescreen P20 has broken hinges and I hear this is a common problem :( I took it to be fixed and they said it's not just the hinges but the inside of the lid too so it is unfixable. I need to find one for spares, at the moment I'm unable to touch the lid let alone close it!
I'm hoping if I buy the outside casing of a laptop, or just the lid, I can have my inside put into it. Does anyone know where I can get one? I have checked ebay and looked on this site but no luck so far.

Hi
I dont think its a common problem
This problem is that the internal displays of notebooks got bigger and the notebook size smaller.
The notebook has small hinges within the screen so all the force is applied on a very small area causing the plastic cover cracks.
I have to say that this issue is not brand specific.
By the way all parts; hinges, lid, covers can be ordered from the Toshiba service partner in your country

Right Broken Hinge Leads to Ripped Wire

Hi, I was have a powerbook g4 titanium and the right hinge broke. Also with it, a black cable ripped. Every time I open it now it sparks from that wire. Is it the backlight power cable? If so, what do I need to replace and where can I get it?

You need to disassemble the Tibook completely to remove the display assembly from it, as shown in these instructions:
http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repair/Installing-PowerBook-G4-Titanium-DVI-Display/ 99/1
Then you need to disassemble the display assembly, which is glued together at the factory and not intended to be taken apart, in order to replace the broken hinge (and I'd replace them both if I were replacing one) and the backlight cable. See this page for guidance in doing that:
http://home.comcast.net/~macdan/tibook_display.html
Disassembling the Tibook is a complicated process, but a competent do-it-yourself can handle it with the right tools and the iFixit instructions. Dismantling the display assembly itself is the most difficult job one can undertake on a Tibook. It carries a significant risk of causing additional damage that can make the display useless, and it will leave cosmetic scars no matter how careful one is. The alternative to dismantling the display to replace its hinges and backlight cable is to replace the entire assembly, and the price of a replacement display assembly may be low enough by now to make that the preferable alternative for most users.

Gray screen after boot and blue screen with stripes

Hi, I have a MacBook Pro Mid 2011 with Mavericks (came with Snow Leopard).
History:
One day i was working and things were too slow. I tried to restart but it was taking too long to close all the programs. So I forced shut down by holding the power button. When I turned it on again, my problems begin.
Problem:
The Apple logo and the spinning wheel appear. After a while, both disappear and it freezes at gray screen. Some solutions I tried make the screen goes blue with black vertical stripes. In both cases, I have to force shut down.
Solutions I tried:
- Reset NVRAM
     It does reset, but nothing change
- Log in my Windows partition. I can't log
- Hold option key and choose recovery. Blue screen
- Recovery system by restart and press Command-R. Blue Screen.
- Safe boot by pressing Shift. Blue Screen
- Verbose by pressing Command-V. Restart and gray screen again.
- Single-user mode by pressing Command-S
     Tried to reapair hard drive:
          /sbin/fsck –fy
     Returns the message "** The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK.". I restart and nothing change.
     Tried to change startup permissions:
          mount -uw /
          chown root /
          chmod 1775 /
          exit
     Restart and nothing change.
- Boot from a bootable USB flash drive
     Holding option key, I choose my flash drive with Ubuntu installed. It gives me 3 options: Use Ubuntu without installing, Install Ubuntu, Repair Disk      Errors (something like that). The 3 options go to the blue screen
     Flash drive with Mavericks. Blue screen.
-Boot from my Snow Leopard CD. Gray screen, restarting, gray screen.
I don't what else I can do. Is it a hardware problem? At first I thought it was some corrupted file. But is it a GPU or logic board problem? What else can I try?

I found this to work at least to get in and backup some files. It is VERY important to put these commands in EXACTLY as seen here, including spaces.
Boot into Single-User mode (Command-S while booting up)
Execute the following commands:
/sbin/fsck -fy /
/sbin/mount -uw /
mkdir /Disabled_System_Library_Extensions
cd /Disabled_System_Library_Extensions
mv /System/Library/Extensions/ATI* .
mv /System/Library/Extensions/AMD* .
touch /System/Library/Extensions
exit
I guess these two graphics extensions go bad quite often on Macbook Pro 15-inch. They are part of the logic board. The only problem I had was I still couldn't get into my computer any other way, and the graphics for Safari were messed up. Firefox was okay. Good Luck!

When I downloaded IOS8.1 it would not turn back on and my screen was flashing the apple sign and a red screen, what can I do?

When I downloaded IOs8.1, it was going well, until it tried to turn back on. My screen went from flashing white with the apple sign to black to a full red screen. It keeps repeating itself and will not turn back on. However, i am able to turn it off, but when i turn it back on it just does the apple sign, black, and red screens again. How can i turn my phone on to work again? Or make the red screen go away.

I had this issue on my iPhone 6. I had to get a new one. There was a hardware error.

HP Pavilion dv7t broken hinge

I have a HP Pavilion dv7t that has a broken hinge. It has slowly become a problem. First the screw fell out and we tried to replace it but it did not hold it tight enough. I have been very carefull with my laptop and I very rarely move it from its location in our house. Now I realize that my free support ended last week September 25th. I wish I had looked into the problem sooner because I have been dealing with it for months.
I have seen the other posts and seen where some have tried to get this fixed and others have been sent a new laptop. What are my options at this point? Will it cost me to call support and ask what they recommend I do?
I am very disappointed in HP because I have up to now had great trust in this company and it's products.

Just got my Pavilion m6 back from HP, fixed hinges and screen at no cost to me. Laptop was out of warranty, but after a long phone conversation, HP finally decided to make it right. There are numerous people with this same issue. Let them know that. Good luck

I dropped my macbook pro and the screen is broken can i still use it with an external monitor? Or can I or how do I transfer hard drive files to my mac mini?

I dropped my 17" macbook pro and the screen is broken. Can I still use it with an external monitor? When I plugged it into a monitor I had used it with before, I'm not able to see anything on the macbook screen to control it. It came on but I just got the blue screen with nothing else after typing in my password. (Didn't see the password form just assumed it was there somewhere and it did go from space to blue screen but no desktop icons, files, dock strip at top or anything else, just blank blue screen) so I can't access the system preferences.
Or can I / or how do I, transfer hard drive files to my mac mini? If not salvageable as is can I pull out the hard drive and make it an external harddrive? In otherwords is anything salvageable? It seems it's coming on I just can't access anything. BTW I was told it would cost aprox $1000 to replace the screen! I paid almost $4000 for this thing and it was running great - makes me sick to lose it!

I'd like to promise you that everything will be fine if you just get the monitor going - but it's hard to know what the hardware damage might be. It might be the monitor, or the damage might be greater.
Your best solution would be visit your local Apple Store and let them know what your situation is. They have access to diagnostics you don't, and they might be able to the best way to save your data and keep you computing. It's still not covered, but they can tell you what your current options are.
Um, you might consider investing in a backup drive.
And there other repair options, too. Powerbook Medic http://www.powerbookmedic.com/xcart1/pages.php?pageid=67 offers reliable repairs, and quotes prices well under Apple's.

Broken hinge but no damage to physical screen.

So here is what happened: My destructive but otherwise wonderful puppy was sitting next to me while I was writing on my 4 year old MacBook Pro. Within a split second, my dog was flying past me and my screen was lying flat, almost hanging in the opposite direction that it should. Pretty much, the hinge in broken to the point where I cannot close it. There is a piece of broken metal frame sticking out from the botom left corner and the plastic screen cover is sort of "unglued." Here is the good part: Everything still works! I am currently typing this cry for help on it right now. I was wondering if there was a standard cost for fixing a problem like this, sans Applecare. Please help!
Thanks!
Update: Here is a picture of the damage:

This is an international community. Prices vary from country, state, city, etc. You should call the repair shop of your choice and ask for an estimate. Make sure the estimate includes taxes, labor costs, etc. Remember, no one can give you an exact figure until the repair techs physically examine your computer to confirm the extent of the damage. AC does not cover accidental damages.
