I know what you mean. I've been looking for some info on replacing the hinge on a TiBook G4/550. Can anyone point me in the right direction for DIY repairs? I know some companies do the job for a lot less than Apple, but said prices are still in the $500 range, plus shipping (I'm in Europe). I came across a G4/550 with combo drive at a good price, though it has a busted right hinge (the guy uses it with an external monitor and it works fine). I also see right (and left) hinges selling on ebay in the $100 range. If I could do the repair job myself it'd be a great deal; there'd be no advantage in getting a company to do the repair job at $400-500. I do have some experience in piecing broken powerbooks into good working Macs, including 1400s, 3400s and Pismos. I've also done screen replacements on these. Though obviously the TiBook screen is in a whole different league. I have the Gigabit Ethernet takeapart manual and I can see that the job is not for the faint of heart. If anyone wants to advise for or against, please let me know. And if anyone has any info on replacing the hinge yourself, any and all info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
