Hello,
After being forced to use my laptop a few weeks ago, when my desktop computer got infected with a multitude of high-severity viruses from what appears to have been the same page (as I had asked for help with here, but I don't have enough time in the day to do half of the things I've been needing to do lately, so I've been unable to start the recovery process after all this time), I've been needing my laptop for all of my digital needs. The laptop, an MSI Gaming notebook, has the following model number (copied from MSI site):
GP70 2PE(Leopard)-010US-GG5421H8G1T0S81M
Today, however, I noticed that the chassis pieces are starting to become separated above the Ethernet port on the upper-right, and the hinge that connects the screen is starting to get loose there; I tried pushing it back together, to see if it would "snap" back into place, but it doesn't seem to work that way. I've had a different laptop that functioned (barely, though it had awful specs anyway) with far worse chassis damage, so I would consider this damage to be relatively minor; however, I would rather not allow the damage to go without fixing, because I'm afraid that if the chassis pieces stay "un-sealed" (for lack of a better term), the damage will become greater, so I'd like to fix this as soon as possible. Unlike with the desktop, I don't have another computer to use if this one breaks, so I'll have to work on the repairs as soon as I get the chance.
