I talked to them and they agreed to take it back as a warranty
matter. We both suspect that the hinges may have been put
on too tight or something.  

I'm a bit calmer now that I've read their "owner pays for shipping
for warranty matters" posting on their website.

PBparts did the same repair on my Wallstreet and it's been fine.

Anyone else have a failed Wall Street hinge repair?

[Gary Goldberg]

Less than 3 weeks ago I got my Wall Street PB
back from PBParts with its hinge replaced with their
own steel hinges.  At first, it seemed odd that when
I opened the PB the hinge was so tight that the
whole PB lifted off the desk. Then there was the
creaking as I opened it and a feeling of more and
more "play" in the screen position (I use it with
a VGA monitor plugged into the back so I need the
screen to stay up at about a 45-degree angle so
that I can see over the screen easily).

Looking into the back of my PB with the
cover closed I could see 2 small chips of material
about 1/4" by 1/8" that were sticking out, removed
them, photographed them, and send all this to
PBPart yesterday via e-mail.

Anyone else have a similar problem?
