Is it safe to use laptop with broken corner?

[abbarich]

A small corner piece from the back of an old laptop of mine has snapped off. The one hinge has been loose for months and it's the underside of the hinge that's snapped off. The laptop still works ok but I'm wondering if it's safe to use. Nothing inside is exposed. Just the corner screw. Are we able to add photos here.? Thanks.

Hey there,

It's likely it will be fine.

You can use imgur to post a picture here. Just copy the code. Then we can be more sure.

Yeah, that's okay. Naturally you don't want to be spilling any liquid in there. Maybe put a little tape around it to seal it somewhat, although that might be difficult with the hinge there.

For normal us, it shouldn't cause any issues. Small need to be aware of it though. So keep an eye out for any further damage.

That's great. Many thanks for the help.
