Hello all -
I have a HP M6-1125DX laptop for the last several years and sometime just after the first year I noticed the display cover was... peeling up, for a lack of a better word, from the bezel/hinge area. At the time I researched the issue and didn't find much in my search, so I ignored it and continued using it as it was... carefully opening and closing the screen while pinching both sides of the screens to put tension on the hinges and hopefully prevent further damage to the case/bezel.
I parked the laptop at a desk for the next couple years and seldomly closed it to prevent any damage. I'm now in a position where I need to travel with my laptop. I don't think the screen and case/bezel/hinge mechanisms will last much longer if I begin to start opening and closing it again.
The hinges appear to be difficult to open, I recall that same issue early on... My assumption would be that the hinges were requiriing excessive force to open the screen and putting excess strain on the surrounding attachment points, e.g. the screen and bezel. I can see pressure points on both sides of the bottom of the screen when adjusting the monitor forwards or backwards. The pressure points are coming from the backside of the screen, towards the user. I'm sure one day soon, the screen will become damaged.
I'd like to have the issue fixed, as the computer operates well still. I seems unnecessary to purchase a new laptop when my existing laptop will serve my needs. However, I'd like to use it without the fear of the screen/lid breaking while traveling...or at all for that matter.
tl;dr: M6-1125dx - display lid/case/bezel separating, hinges are difficult to open/shut putting strain on parts. Nothing else appears to be damaged, screen is perfect, no dead pixels or cracking.
Any suggestions?
I have my product details ready to send in a PM if necessary.
Thanks,
