I need a good used hinge for my X60 Tablet after it broke today.

Please chime in if you have one!

Thanks!

But that seller brags about his international customers, including one in Estonia.

Thanks for the hint!

I will contact him regarding shipping.

Meanwhile I'm still waiting if someone here has one to offer, I would also prefer the later FRU 42W3477 over the older FRU 42W2545. Newer one is arguably stronger.

There are more on ebay, but this looked like the best buy. As for international shipping, I didn't see any such option even when I clicked the "other locations" option, but it's very likely he will, just didn't enter the costs when he made the listing.

If there is a more reliable part, then I can understand wanting it, but I can't imagine finding a better price.

I will buy one from the seller TuuS recommended through a friend of mine who lives in Florida and organizes merchandise to Europe. It will cost me only 20 euros shipped to Estonia so I can have my X60T in full health soon and meanwhile searching for later style hinge.

Please understand that I didn't really recommend that seller, I never did any business with him, I just located it for you and it was far cheaper then most, but the seller does have some negative feedback, so use caution.
