Just as a heads up for folks, I purchased a replacement hinge from a vendor named laptopz-outlet on eBay back in November, and they have now broken again after only 2 months of use. The vendor has refused to return any messages or e-mails… I guess the message is “buyer beware” on eBay, but hopefully I can get a new set from a different vendor and repair them the same way.

Thank you so much for going taking the time to make this guide. This just happened to my laptop last night (although strangely on the opposite side of the lock, the right hinge) and I’m going to use your guide to take it apart and hopefully fix the problem. THANK YOU!

ok i’ve found where i can purchase the hinges but my laptop poses another issue. my nephew tried to shut my laptop (bearing in mind that it couldn’t close initially due to the broken hinges) and now the screen’s not coming on; its just black. have to connect my laptop to another VDU. what could be the problem?

thanx

try araldite. it worked for me!
also, update your bios to fix the fan problems or your graphics card will probably blow

martin mmachi,

my model is the dv9605ea and i seem to have the EXACT same problem yours had. tried to shut it one day and i heard a crack! my laptop cant close anymore. so its not just the hinge but also the black display cover for the lcd screen.

pls i would like to know where i can get a new cover for the screen.

The screen cover a.k.a. display enclosure. I mentioned part number for the enclosure at the end of the post.
You can confirm the part number in the maintenance and service guide.
Google the part number or search on eBay. Find out who is selling them in UK.

I am the unfortunated owner of a DV9000, besides the Hinges problem, my unit had the WiFi chip NVidia blown up by temperature, and the the wel known problem of erratic Boot caused by temperature too, all of them design problems, so after a couple of years I have a completely unusable unit which I am sendind to the trash basket, and believe me ” I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER HP PRODUCT AGAIN”
