1108380 2010-06-09 06:11:00 First off, my warranty expired 4 days ago. And today the hinge connecting the screen to the base cracked.
It's an Hp Pavillion dv6

Is there anything i can do to get this fixed without having to fork out heaps of money?

Buy the repair parts and fix it yourself.
Claim the damage on insurance and get a new machine.
Take it in for repair at an authorised place.

Physical damage isn't covered under warranty anyway. Glue it

I've been facing the same problem with my old ASUS laptop for the past few months. Rather than attempting to close the lid when I'm done with the laptop, I normally leave the lid open as it is to prevent further cracking.
