Anyone knows how to fix cracked housing?

I've a cracked screen housing. Laptop is not under warranty anymore. Just want to know if other HP laptop owners have fixed something like this before. Thanks.

 

I work in a repair shop and I just worked on this exact problem (same model of laptop too, I believe). One hinge and both the front and back bezel had to be replaced. Though some glue + sandpaper might work for a cheaper fix. Depends on the extent of your damage. I'd open it up and take some pictures of that.

 

yes its repairable, have a look at the service manual and search ebay for replacement parts

 

I've replaced a damaged screen bezel on my notebook, and it was a pretty easy job. HP will deliver exact-replacement parts to your door--for a price. Think I paid around $40 for the bezel, but if I had to replace the lid, it would have been much more expensive. HP parts descriptions as shown on the parts store and in the maintenance manual are somewhat broken: Description may say, for instance, that the replacement bezel also includes wifi antennae, hinges and rubber screw covers, but don't bet on it. Try not to lose little bits like the rubber feet, because they can be astonishingly expensive to buy as replacement parts. If you do indeed need all new plastics for the front and back of your screen, it's probably around $150 from HP, maybe 10% less from 3rd parties.

 

Thats quite a suspicious spot to have broken. Right next to the kensington lock lol

 

it doesn't seem as if there is any damage to the hole itself though
