Two things you will have to do.

First, remove the bezel that is between the F keys on the keyboard and the monitor. There may be a couple of little screws from the back to allow you to remove the hinge cover. Once this is out, you see that there are 2 screws on each hinge that will have to be removed. After you have had all that fun, you will have to take the monitor apart by removing the screw covers that are between the glass and the edge of the monitor, then you will be able to separate the bezel, which is around the glass, from the back cover of the monitor. Walla, the hinge supports will all of a sudden appear, and you can remove them. Re-assemble in just the reverse.

Don't misplace any of the screws, and have a lot of fun.

Good luck, and feel free to rate this response.

You can get replacement parts for this laptop, however it can get expensive. At the end of the day, you can use a super glue that is safe to use around electrical parts, but you might be better off just using an external monitor if you don't need to carry your laptop around.

You have to order the part from HP or find it on Ebay. If you get it from HP, www.hp.com, they usually provide a diagram on how to open the machine and replace it. This also happens with some purchases on Ebay but not very often.
