Issue regarding screen and case Laptop Hp Pavilion

I have a HP Pavilion DV7, I've noticed... whenever I move the screen, it like pulls the top left corner of the case open so there is atleast a 1-2cm gap, not sure what I should do about it. Any ideas?
I'm not sure what caused it, I know there's a really bad fan noise that occurs and it sounds like a grinding noise and now the screen whenever it's moved is pulling the case open.

Without seeing the computer I don't know if this is something that can be accurately diagnosed. I found an HP manual that shows the major components of a Pavilion DV7 starting on page 18.

Perhaps this will help you determine what parts are pulling apart and if the noisy fan is related. I also located an HP support site for the UK. It might be worth an email or live chat to see what your options are. Sorry I can't offer more help.

Thank you, I can whip up a picture if you wish?
The manual you found wasn't my model, I do believe I have the DV7-6050EA/HP Pavilion dv7-4130sa Entertainment Notebook PC
