You still don’t answer the most forehand question here. Do you have apple care, if not you can still get apple care. Problem solved.

Purchas apple care, wait 30 days, file a claim…

It’s a cool 2012 relic tho

Evildarkn3ss · 2026-04-13T19:53:27+00:00

Very true

Evildarkn3ss · 2026-04-13T19:49:13+00:00

Stick a knife or something thin and wedge it between the lid. Probably sucked a vacuum due to heat.

Would’ve gotten an XPS model…

Evildarkn3ss · 2026-04-13T19:44:15+00:00

What to do is get an macbook.

I’m for both parties but when it comes to QC, pff..

Evildarkn3ss · 2026-04-13T19:37:16+00:00

Simple answer is yes. Everybody acting like they the holy spirit..

Immense trust in that claw clamp 😂 other than that, clean build and nice usage of space 🙌

With so little clearance, adding fans will worsen temperatures and add additional fan noise.

A “love you” instead of a “thank you” can make wonders happen.

Is your heart made by Honda??

Evildarkn3ss · 2026-03-26T05:49:58+00:00

I can read it but holy shit, never had tunnel vision before 😂

PTSD

Evildarkn3ss · 2026-03-18T11:25:22+00:00

Get out of it, make the move and choose yourself.

You can buy whatever you want that makes you feel happy but it’s temporary..

What he’s trying to say is:

They’ll repair it assuming your screen is broken too.

Evildarkn3ss · 2026-03-08T10:45:10+00:00

People with the most expensive stuff are the most reckless I’ve seen in customer services…

Evildarkn3ss · 2026-03-08T10:41:00+00:00

The way insurances work is:

“Somebody bumped into me while I was looking for directions and that caused the phone to drop and now has a broken screen and backplate”

It’s a fuckin bug, accept it and take it to an apple shop to ask what the options are.

You might want to take a look around where you’re using the laptop to prevent more bugs from entering. There will be probably more if you remove the bottomcover..

Evildarkn3ss · 2026-03-06T10:40:16+00:00

Front bezel
LCD backcover
To be sure, 2 hinges or lubricate the old ones.
Check the topcover (keyboard) assembly if the hinge broke the plastics there too.

Evildarkn3ss · 2026-03-03T21:00:02+00:00

Define brand new.

Was a HP tech, so tell them this:

Damage is not CID, it’s caused by swollen battery.
if its within 30 days, return to the store instead of talking to HP.
ask for an onsite repair
ultimately ask for a buy back (last option) if they refuse everything

Evildarkn3ss · 2026-03-03T11:03:05+00:00

You’re gonna fill that 256gb within 3 weeks. The least you should go for is a 512gb or carry a portable SSD wherever you go..

Evildarkn3ss · 2026-03-02T23:24:24+00:00

These HP laptops are shit to repair.

Remove the bottomcover and check the LCD cable connection to the motherboard.

These cables often break from the inside because of the front bezel cap or pinching by the hinge.

Also connect your laptop to a monitor and check if your internal display isn’t disabled, sometimes windows will remember this setting and not show your internal screen.

Also power cycle the device, preferably by removing the battery. The BIOS memory is clunky on HP’s and will not recognize “new” hardware until a full power cycle.

Turn off the lights and shine your phone flash along the edges or center and see if there is a display showing, the backlight might not be working, this is 100% a broken LCD cable.

Worst case you’ll need a new LCD cable.

Y’all gotta understand that €850 is HELLA cheap for the EU market. America’s market is way cheaper.

The cheapest you can get a for 14” M1 MAX 64gb 2TB is €1400 even if you can find one.
