I got a 17-by3065st with the SAME issue. These models use crap hinges. This one is so tight it's hard to even move the bare hinge with two hands. After replacing the whole palmrest, I used some epoxy to strengthen it. But the back (actually top palmrest) still flexes when opened and closed. EDIT: Opened the hinge cover, used an interchangeable screwdriver socket (perfect size) to loosen the nuts just a bit. Works a lot better.

These newer laptops aren’t built the way that old laptops used to be built because tbh, I’d rather it be chunky as hell and still have the DVD player, easy to remove battery, hard drive, and ram, and also a numeric keypad in the keyboard

My HP just did. (Apr 2023) I think they design them to fall apart between 3-4 yrs, right after the warranty runs out.

These break for a reason, if the hinge tension is not adjusted this repair is a complete waste of time.

The tension is required to hold the heavy screens open. The problem is HP isn't smart enough to make the hinges longer so all that force on PLASTIC! This is the Achille's heel on HP laptops. I've got two with broken hinges, the plastic mounting for the hinges is what breaks.

@@StillAProudAmerican-ll2yc It’s simple, take two minutes and loosen the hinge tension to the point where the lid moves freely, but is still properly supported, the plastic screw mounts will never break again. Or, if the tension is adjusted before the mounts break, you have prevented a costly repair

Laptop hinges seem to get tighter with age, not looser. Slightly loosen your hinges before they break. They only need to be tight enough to hold up the screen.

@@NewsonsElectronics Good point. I saw where a few people used machine screws and nuts to hold it together. No glue used at all. The crew head can be seen on top, but as long as it works well, it's good. They also loosened the tension nuts on the hinges a little and oiled the hinges since the tightness caused the problem.
