Again, I'll restate here becasue I think it's important... If your hinges are loose, DO NOT just continue to use them and see how long it will last. How long will it last until what?? Until it breaks completely? Then what happens? It gets more loose? More play opening and closing and the screen won't stay in the position you want? Those are the least of your worries. If that hinge breaks (and they do) and a sharp portion of the metal pierces a video cable running through the hinge or some other cable coming off the mother board it's gong to take out another component... it could short and take out many more components and that, I promise you, will be very costly. > I had the hinges on my wallstreet replaced by > pbparts for about $70 and > they've been fine since then (3 years). That doesn't sound like a bad deal. I really want to think i was able to find the hinges on ebay for around $50 and do the repair myself. (Though I've been repairing many models of laptops for years and am very comfortable with doing so.) If your not comfortable... that sounds like a good deal. Likewise, if your going to find them on ebay... make sure you knwo if it's the left or right hinge and make sure your getting the hinge for the proper size display.
