Anyone who's owned a T61 knows the hinges are a problem and finding a pair that are still tight is rare and the only "new" ones available are cheap knock-offs that usually don't fit right, cause the plastics to buldge, aren't threaded all the way so screws won't fully seat, and often cause other problems.

I have a set I just pulled from a barely used corporate laptop that are still as tight as new, offered at $20 plus shipping.


I have many other parts for T61 and other related models.

Another pair of tight original hinges available!!! $20 pair *genuine lenovo*

I also have a couple pair that are developing the common loosness but are still very usable, suitable for someone on a budget or perhaps a tinkerer who wants to attempt repairs (make offer) no reasonable offer refused.
