MSI laptop
It's within it's warranty period, but it appears it may not be covered ~ The left (if it's facing me) hinge seems to have gotten stuck down, so when the screen was lifted, the casing smashed. I've not contacted MSI yet, as it seems they will ask us to send it to them, then tell us it's not covered, must've been dropped,…

Help with scanning old photos needed
I have a HP Officejet 6500 printer and scanner and have tried to scan some old photos. Problem is they appear in the top left of a page of A4 paper. Is there anyway I can scan these but so that it doesn't look like a blob in the corner. They are very old photos so probably only about 3" square.
